Iowa HF2627 amends deer depredation permit eligibility to include economic loss to agriculture, horticulture, or silviculture operations.

Iowa HF2627 modifies the criteria for obtaining deer depredation permits and deer shooting permits. The bill expands eligibility to include producers who have suffered economic loss to agriculture, horticulture, or silviculture operations due to wild animals, not just those with crop, horticultural product, tree, or nursery damage. The Department of Natural Resources will issue these permits to landowners or tenants with written approval from the landowner.
