A bill for an act relating to open season exceptions for taking geese.

This bill allows agricultural property owners or tenants outside city limits to take nuisance geese on their land without needing prior permission or waiting for the regular hunting season. It adds geese to the list of animals (like raccoons and skunks) that can be controlled this way when deemed a nuisance. The provision does not apply to geese species protected under federal law, such as those covered by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The change modifies existing Iowa law to expand nuisance wildlife control options for farmers and landowners.
