What I did was attend a Iowa DNR meeting where we could speak about issues we would like changed for regulations.
I said I would like to see longer trapping seasons and I also proposed night spotlighting of varmints to be legal, as several states allow this & Iowa should.
It used to be Iowa farm kids would run a trap line for fun & money, today they just sit in the house playing with there thumbs on a Gameboy.
What also needs done is the restriction on Redtail Hawks need to be changed back to what it once was where farmers could shoot them, if I remember this changed in the mid 1970's, it should be restated. There is no shortage of Hawks & Owls and they are hurting all small game populations not just Pheasant's.
