(Area) Wednesday marked the start of the Iowa’ DNR’s first ever January antlerless season.
It runs until January 22nd. Bryan Hayes with the Iowa DNR says Adair, Adams, Taylor, and Union counties are all involved. However, some counties are sold out. “Still a few tag available in Adams and Clark counties, but Adair, Taylor and Union are sold out.”
Only centerfire rifles can be used. “.223 caliber up to .500 caliber are the legal weapons that will be used during this season. Taking advantage of those extra tags, giving people more opportunity to harvest deer.”
The excess tag January antlerless season was approved by the Iowa Legislature during the 2022 session.
