Iowa approves split shotgun deer seasons in December
The Iowa Conservation Commission set two shotgun deer seasons for December 3 to 6 and December 10 to 16, with bow season October 8 to December 2. Applications run August 15 to 29, licenses cost ten dollars, and most permits are back-only though 10 842 to 20 more than last year will be either sex. For first season each either sex license yields two for the second. Last year about 95 000 shotgun hunters produced roughly 14 000 deer, and bow hunters netted 2 361 of 12 522. The panel also approved two land purchases: 350 acres on Bloody Run Creek near Marquette at about 416 per acre and 40 acres along the upper Iowa River at about 490 per acre.
