Iowa (RI) — Both rabbit and squirrel hunting seasons are underway, and Iowa DNR conservation officer Nate Carr says there are plenty of targets.
Carr says Iowa’s squirrel population is also very abundant.
While both seasons are open now, rabbit hunting in Iowa runs through February 28th, while squirrel season only goes until January 31st. Rabbit hunters are limited to ten a day with a possession limit of 20, while squirrel hunters can bag six daily with a possession limit of 12.
Blaze orange is not required for either sport, but Carr says it’s recommended for safety, especially if you’re hunting on public land. In addition, Iowa’s dove hunting season is also underway through the end of November. Find more information on hunting at iowadnr.gov.
