SF 148 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to special landowner turkey hunting licenses.

SF 148 creates a special landowner turkey hunting license for property owners who manage turkey populations on their own land. This license eliminates the need for landowners to obtain a separate permit for turkey hunting on their property each season. The bill directly affects landowners in Minnesota who participate in turkey hunting on their own land, simplifying their access to hunting opportunities. The key provision is the establishment of this dedicated license category, which is now law after being signed by the Governor on May 6, 2025.
