Final Deer Season Begins January 11
Posted 6 January, 2012
The
January antlerless deer season begins Jan. 11, for 42 counties, mainly
in southern Iowa, and is the final deer season of the year. Even though
there may be licenses left for a county not all areas in these counties
need to have extra does taken. Hunters are encouraged to work with
landowners to determine desired local deer population level and adjust
their doe harvest accordingly.
Hunters are reminded that they will need to have a 2012 hunting license
and habitat fee to participate in the season. The January antlerless
season allows hunters to use shotguns, muzzleloaders, handguns and
bows. In the southern two tiers of counties, hunters may also
choose a centerfire rifle, .24 caliber or larger. Hunting hours are
from one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset. Party
hunting is allowed during the January antlerless season. The season
ends Jan. 29.
One concern voiced by hunters is that bucks that have shed their
antlers are taken during this season. Hunters can avoid harvesting a
shed antlered buck by passing up a shot at a lone deer and wait for
does and fawns traveling together.
Hunters can use the HUSH program to donate any legally harvested deer
to the Food Bank of Iowa, where the meat will help Iowans in need.
All deer taken must be reported using the harvest reporting system by
midnight the day after the deer is recovered. Accurately
reporting the harvest is an important part of Iowa’s deer management
program and plays a vital role in managing deer populations and future
hunting opportunities.
For hunters with Internet access, the online harvest reporting is the
easiest way to register the deer. Hunters can report their deer online
at www.iowadnr.gov, by calling the toll free reporting number 1-800-771-4692, or at any license vendor. |
