(Area) Deer Licenses go on sale August 15th.
Bryan Hayes with the Iowa DNR says, “That’s a significant day for the deer hunters.” He says, “People are able to pick up any of the deer licenses August 15th whether it’s your archery tag, first or second shotgun, antlerless tags.”
Hayes says usually what happens is seasons that have quotas sell out quickly such as the early muzzle loader season. “Don’t wait on that. If you want to be assured to get in on that season you can purchase that tag right after August 15th.”
Youth deer season opens September 19th.
