DES MOINES – There is a “new tool” available for Iowa hunters, according to Iowa Senator Jeff Danielson.
Danielson introduced the Iowa Hunting Atlas, calling it “an interactive map that shows 600,000 acres of public hunting land that is owned by the state, county or federal government.”
The Iowa DNR said that the “hunting Atlas was designed to make it easier for hunters to locate areas that are open to public hunting.”
As far as the accuracy of the map goes, the Iowa DNR said that “every attempt has been made to accurately depict the boundaries and information in this map.”
The Hunting Atlas allows the public to zoom in on prospective hunting areas, shows the boundaries, and offers links for more information. It also shows the name, size (in acres) and type of habitat of the hunting areas.
The atlas is available online athttp://programs.iowadnr.gov/maps/huntingatlas.
Brick quit lieing – the DNR burns wildlife habitat EVERY year – you must work for them – coprophallic move.
Brick boy and LVS, spoken like true couch potatoes..
Where do you get drugs and hunting going together. You find something to complain or downgrade on each article. If not the article then people in the forum. Hunting grounds arent burned every year there is a list of native habitats that are burnt on a schedule to help with establishment and weed control. Research before you speak to things you have no clue on.
@Brick for Head-That is because you are so easy. My comments were aimed at brickforbrains AKA Fried Brains who is a well know supporter of pot heads.
@Brick for a head-as a follow up, you need to know that I was hunting here in North Iowa before you were ever a gleam in your mothers eyes so get off the couch potato crap. If you can’t stand the truth (and please help me sticking up for the real brick) then you are the one who needs to wake up. I can remember the days when you used to go hunting for a hour and come home with three birds. How many did you shoot this year? Who do they think they are kidding with a atlas?
Pheasant hunting is too hard! It’s easier to just go shoot a deer in an enclosed pen these days. These aren’t hunters as much as idiots. Deer hunters shoot each other every year even though they know each is out there.
probably all high on pot.
If the DNR would QUIT the BURNS on these public lands every year we would have some pheasants – just does’nt make sense to annually burn these habitats – who’s in charge of this bullchit ?
There is nothing to hunt? The hunters know this, the out of state hunters no this. A map or atlis will not change this. I dont need a atlas to tell me where pheasants used to be.
