Senator proposes hunting regulation changes, to thin deer herd
Senator Ken Rozenboom of Oskaloosa says the deer population is too large in some areas of the state and it’s time to change some of the state’s hunting regulations.
“In Appanoose County…the DNR’s target was to have 2,700 deer taken this past year,” Rozenboom says, “but only 2,200 were taken, so that’s 500 deer that are out there.”
Rozenboom is sponsoring a bill that calls for a study of the economic and environmental impact of the state’s deer population. He expects the study would indicate the Department of Natural Resources deer management targets should be increased.
