The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has announced the dates for the 2024-2025 deer hunting seasons. The archery season will run from September 15th to January 10th, the muzzleloader season will run from December 7th to December 15th, and the shotgun season will run from November 2nd to November 17th. Deer hunting is a popular tradition in Iowa, and the DNR expects over 100,000 hunters to participate in the upcoming season.
Hunting is an important part of Iowa’s culture and economy. It helps to control the deer population, which can damage crops and spread disease. Hunting also generates revenue for the state, which is used to fund conservation programs.
