A bill for an act relating to the allocation of nonresident deer hunting licenses.
HF 388 changes how Iowa allocates nonresident deer hunting licenses. It requires 65% of licenses to be awarded based on preference points (earned from prior denial years), while the remaining 35% must be distributed randomly without considering points. Nonresident hunters who receive a license have all their preference points reset to zero. This applies to all applicants seeking antlered or any-sex deer hunting licenses.
