OutdoorHub 11.10.11
Iowa’s inaugural dove hunting season has ended. More than 22,000 hunters registered that they planned to hunt doves in during the 70-day long season that closed on Nov. 9.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will conduct a survey from that group of hunters to determine participation and harvest estimates.
While the dove season has closed, hunters can still enjoy small game and upland species, like pheasants and rabbits, waterfowl, deer (archery) and wild turkey seasons. Iowa’s furbearer season opened on Nov. 5. For a complete listing of hunting seasons, go to www.iowadnr.gov and click on the hunting tab.
