Yes but how much does the Iowa farmer make charging people to hunt his fields? In Colorado if you charge more than $75 per hunter on your property you loose any rights to restitution for damage caused by wildlife on your property by the State. What does an Iowa deer lease cost these days?

I have never paid to hunt in my life. Far from popular belief, 99% of hunting on Iowa's farmland are free for the asking. Most farmers let someone hunt their land. It may only be relatives, it may be the kids down the road, it maybe some like me that just knocked on their door, etc but very little land is leased. What land I do see leased is for pheasant. On the other hand, much of the timber lands have been sold off to the wealthy for development and private hunting land (not to be confused with a lease).

Compared to deer the population of wolves is very minuscule.

Pretty much my point.
