Thank You to the following persons

1. First the people who have donated to this web site to preserve our private property rights by keeping people informed. You care about our Environment, our Health, and our Property Rights.

 2. Mr Shawn Meier, DNR Conservation officer, for finally charging  me so I could take this case to court.  His action resulted in all Iowans being able to shoot deer year around now to protect property. I have shot an estimated over 500 deer to protect my property from deer damage since my trial in 2007, and I do not have any Iowa hunting license.  His current wages in 2019 working for the Iowa DNR is $102,457.60.

3. Mr Jeff  Renander, Cedar County attorney who prosecuted me.  He showed me exactly what I needed, to prove the necessity defense in regard to my constitutional right to protect my property.  In 2022. He has now retired.

4. Mr. Greg Harris, Depredation officer (now retired), who has now changed how he determines damage caused by deer for me.  He showed all Iowans that the hunting season and the Deer Depredation Program has never and will never work to protect a persons property from deer damage. His current wages in 2019 working for the Iowa DNR is $73,762.59. He has now retired.

5. The many persons who supported me, and showed up at my trial.  My lawyers for getting the necessity defense in my case.   And lastly the 6 jurors who had to sit threw three days of testimony, I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did.

I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpation."
