(Area) Monday, January 10th marks the end of the pheasant season in Iowa.
Bryan Hayes with the DNR Office in Lewis says time is running out to hunt pheasant. “We have today, tomorrow, and Monday before we close down the pheasant season on January 10th. I think back to all of the anticipation waiting for the roadside count to come out in late August/early September to opening it up the last weekend of October to here we are closing the season. So you have a few days left to chase those pheasants around.”
Quail season remains open until the 31st. Time is also limited on some of the goose seasons. “Central Zone goose season closes January 15th and the South Zone closes January 22nd. Still some days left on those season so you might see some people setting up on fields yet to hunt geese in January. Things are kind of coming to a close, we are shifting gears.”
Much of the outdoor activity moving forward will be centered around ice fishing.
