Foxes must be protected in Iowa warns extension
Wildlife specialist Bob Moorman cautions against digging fox dens or capturing pups as foxes are protected by Iowa law. The state has a closed season on foxes from February 18 to September, while coyotes remain open year round. During denning, both species feed young with small mammals and occasionally take pheasants or quail with no clear population impact. Some counties previously paid bounties but most have abandoned the system.
