Iowa DNR reminds hunters about new deer stand tags law
By Nik Wilson,
22 hours agoSIOUX 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.
