SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — Officials urge deer hunters in Iowa to remember a new law this hunting season.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources posted on Facebook that folks who place a deer stand on public land for any amount of time must have an identification tag.

That tag must include the owner's DNR-issued customer ID number. The tag must also be attached to the stand and visible from the ground.

The DNR said any stand on public land that does not have a tag could be seized by an officer.

You can make your tag by purchasing a metal tag from a hardware store and writing your DNR ID number on the tag. Then, just attach the tag to the deer stand.

Officials said abandoned deer stands on public property have become a growing problem across the state in recent years, and they hope this new law will help address this issue.
