Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Jeanie K. Vaudt, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Tabor, P.J., Bower, J., and Carr, S.J. Opinion by Bower, J. (13 pages)
Russell Carter appeals the district court decision on his petition for declaratory judgment finding Iowa Code section 483A.24 (2016) is not unconstitutional. OPINION HOLDS: We find Carter, as a nonresident landowner, does not have an inalienable right to hunt antlered deer on his property and the statute does not violate his equal protection rights. We affirm the district court.
