In this episode of Outdoor Adventures, we're joined by Jace Elliott, the state deer biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, for an in-depth conversation about Iowa's deer population and what lies ahead for hunters. Jace breaks down current deer population trends across the state, explains how the Iowa DNR evaluates herd health, and discusses why this time of year is critical for public input on future hunting regulations. We also talk about how hunters can provide feedback and why that input truly matters in shaping seasons, quotas, and management decisions.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, I interview a special guest: Becky Lee Forestry Specialist with Iowa DNR. Becky grew up in south east Iowa on her family farm. Becky was raised with a blend of agriculture and conservation. Becky has rasied a multitude of livestock such as goats, sheep, pigs, and cattle with using rotational grazing. Becky has a Bachelors of Science Degree in Forestry with a minor in Entomology from Iowa State University. I interviewed Becky how her unique blend of forestry and agriculture serves southeast Iowa landowners and farmers successfully. I would say Becky literally does speak for the trees in south east Iowa.

Myth Busted: EHD Doesn't Target Bucks

In the hunting world, when you hear the word EHD, it puts a sick feeling in your stomach. EHD or Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease, is a disease that affects whitetail deer that leads to a very excruciating death. EHD can have a massive effect on the populations of your whitetail deer herd with in the summer months leading up to the early fall. As hunters, we always fear hearing about EHD outbreaks in the areas we hunt because of how lethal the disease can be. This past hunting season, we had actually found one of the bucks we were hunting that had shown signs of being infected with the disease. We had called in the Iowa DNR to examine the buck, and sent in samples of the deer to confirm that he was suffering from EHD. After sending in the samples, like other hunters, we had some questions about the disease and how it affects a whitetail deer. On this episode of the Raised Hunting Podcast we sit down with Andy Keller, a Wildlife Biologist and Depredation Specialist with the Iowa DNR and Rachel Ruden, a State Wildlife Veterinarian, to not only answer questions about EHD but whitetail deer biology as a whole.

The initial order allowed her to attend meetings of the town's Board of Aldermen but was expanded in 2019 to bar her from entering city hall at any time after she questioned whether a gathering that included several town officials was an unposted meeting.“Our rights are worth it,” Varney said. “It's been hard but I go to city council meetings, I get to sit down just like everybody else. And they have to treat everybody that way.”In her lawsuit, Varney asked for only nominal damages in addition to legal vindication. Berger's ruling gave Varney $100 for the constitutional violation, $650 for the Sunshine Law violation and $78,966 for litigation costs and attorney fees. Interest is accruing at the rate of 9% per year.“This was not a close case,” said Dave Roland, the attorney who represented Varney. “They should have seen from the very outset, it was going to be a loser and they were going to be on the hook for both their attorneys fees and ours.”Roland runs the Freedom Center of Missouri, providing pro bono Sunshine Law legal services for people unable to afford an attorney.

Native species of varying sizes were found dead ashore and floating in the water.“Just acute toxicity basically burned tissue on the outside and if they ingested it, on the inside of the fish,” said Lorenzen.Water testing showed that where the spill happened, nitrogen levels were at least 60 times higher than they should've been.Josh Hawley (drop) says Trump Shouldn't Issue Blanket Pardon for Jan 6thhttps://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article286871930.htmlIn a rare showing of a possible spine in the face of Trump's crazy, Missouri's soon to be one term senator Joshua “Yes these are my boots” Hawley breaks with Trump and suggests that CRIMINALS WHO ATTACKED THE GOVERNMENT might be best to be left as criminals, real novel takeMissouri Town who abused open records law drops appeal of penaltyhttps://missouriindependent.com/2024/03/15/phelps-county-town-drops-appeal-of-80000-missouri-sunshine-law-judgment/Rebecca Varney sued after Edgar Springs banned her from visiting city hall to see records or attend town board meetingsEdgar Springs, a town of 200 in southern Phelps County, must now pay Rebecca Varney $750, plus almost $80,000 in attorney fees, to satisfy a November court decision that found it violated Varney's First Amendment rights and the Missouri Sunshine Law.Circuit Judge John Beger ruled that the city's violations began in 2018 when it barred Varney from entering city hall to view records open to the public under the Sunshine Law. The initial order allowed her to attend meetings of the town's Board of Aldermen but was expanded in 2019 to bar her from entering city hall at any time after she questioned whether a gathering that included several town officials was an unposted meeting.“Our rights are worth it,” Varney said. “It's been hard but I go to city council meetings, I get to sit down just like everybody else. And they have to treat everybody that way.”In her lawsuit, Varney asked for only nominal damages in addition to legal vindication. Berger's ruling gave Varney $100 for the constitutional violation, $650 for the Sunshine Law violation and $78,966 for litigation costs and attorney fees. Interest is accruing at the rate of 9% per year.“This was not a close case,” said Dave Roland, the attorney who represented Varney. “They should have seen from the very outset, it was going to be a loser and they were going to be on the hook for both their attorneys fees and ours.”Roland runs the Freedom Center of Missouri, providing pro bono Sunshine Law legal services for people unable to afford an attorney. Money gained from rulings like the one against Edgar Springs is used to support other litigation. Texas Immigration Law Back On Hold After Multiple Court Rulings In Last Weekshttps://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/appeals-court-blocks-texas-immigration-law-supreme-court-action-rcna144193The decision comes just hours after the Supreme Court said the measure, known as SB 4, could go into effect while litigation continues.A three-judge panel of the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals split 2-1 in saying in a brief order that the measure, known as Senate Bill 4, should be blocked. The same court is hearing arguments on the issue Wednesday morning.The state law would allow police to arrest migrants who illegally cross the border from Mexico and impose criminal penalties. It would also empower state judges to order people to be deported to Mexico.Meet Me In (Sustainable) St. Louieeeehttps://www.riverfronttimes.com/news/bloomberg-taps-st-louis-as-1-of-25-american-sustainable-cities-42136549The City of St. Louis has been selected as one of Bloomberg Philanthropies' 25 sustainable American cities and will receive resources to combat climate change locally.The three-year program will utilize federal funding in the area to “proactively build low-carbon, resilient, and economically thriving communities,” according to a news release from Bloomberg. St. Louis was chosen to take part in the program based on the city's leadership and ambition, according to the St. Louis Development Corporation. Black Gay Republican Says Missouri Republican Heckled Him at MAGA Evenhttps://www.newsweek.com/black-gay-republican-says-missouri-republican-heckled-him-maga-event-1879832Rob Smith (conservative commenter) accused a state legislator from Missouri of being among the individuals who allegedly heckled him at a MAGA event in December.Smith, a Republican who is Black and gay, alleged that Missouri State Representative Chris Lonsdale joined a group of conservatives accused of heckling him while attending a Turning Point USA event in Phoenix in December 2023.Video sent by Smith to Newsweek appears to show Lonsdale near a crowd that heckled and chanted a homophobic slur against Smith. Lonsdale was seen pointing his finger toward Smith. However, the video was taken from behind the lawmaker, and it remained unclear whether he was among the individuals chanting the slur."One of the individuals is a Republican elected official named Chris Lonsdale, a State Rep for MO district 38," Smith wrote in an X message to Newsweek. @TheHeartlandPOD on Twitter and ThreadsCo-HostsAdam Sommer @Adam_Sommer85 (Twitter) @adam_sommer85 (Post)Rachel Parker @msraitchetp (Post) Sean Diller (no social)The Heartland Collective - Sign Up Today!JOIN PATREON FOR MORE - AND JOIN OUR SOCIAL NETWORK!“Change The Conversation”Outro Song: “The World Is On Fire” by American Aquarium http://www.americanaquarium.com/
