(Area) Iowa’s early muzzeloader season opens Saturday.
The season runs October 16th-24th. “Typically the early muzzleloader hunters deal with a lot of crops still in the field. This year might be a little different. The harvest has progressed faster than normal. It might be a good season to get into with the progression of the crops.”
Bryan Hayes with the Iowa DNR notes we are getting closer to the fall rut. “The deer are getting close to starting to see rutting activity. Things like rubbing on the trees are a tell tale sign. The early muzzleloader season can be a good season especially if the weather is cool and the harvest has progressed.”
Limited licenses are available on a county by county basis.
