Dry weather slows duck hunting in Eastern Iowa
Duck hunters face a slow start as dry conditions lower water levels at Otter Creek Marsh and other sites. Wildlife officials advise scouting ahead and expect limited boat access while suggesting some duck activity may shift to other areas in Iowa and the Midwest. Officials note the Cedar Rapids area is among the eighth driest years on record, urging rainfall to raise water levels before the season opens.
