Iowa’s popular archery deer
season begins Oct. 1
Deer hunters have Oct. 1 circled
on their calendar marking the begin-
ning to Iowa’s popular archery deer
season.
An expected 50,000 hunters will
be hiding among the branches on
tree stands in the timber across Iowa
forests and field edges waiting for the
next legendary Iowa buck to walk by.
“The herd is in excellent condi-
tion statewide following the mild
winter and early spring and the popu-
lation is about where we want it. If
they put in the time scouting and
sight in their bow, I expect hunters
will have another good year in the
timber,” said Dr. Dale Garner, chief
of the Iowa Department of Natural
Resources Wildlife Bureau.
Regulation changes incorporated
last year have helped to stabilize Io-
wa’s herd. There were no regulation
changes for 2015. The archery sea-
son is open through Dec. 4, when it
closes for the shotgun deer seasons. It
then reopens Dec. 21 and runs until
Jan. 10, 2016.
Youth Season
Open Through Oct. 4
Iowa’s archery season crosses over
with the youth only season for the
first four days. The youth only deer
hunting season opened Sept 19.
Around 9,500 youth under 16
years of age participate in the special
season each year. They must hunt un-
der the supervision of an adult men-
tor who has a valid hunting license
and habitat fee. Only one youth 1 and May 31.

Where to Hunt
Looking for new areas to hunt?
Try Iowa’s online hunting atlas, high-
lighting more than 600,000 acres of
public hunting land. The atlas is avail- Roll in 2014-15. He is 6’3” tall and
able at www.iowadnr.gov/hunting in
the middle of the page.
The atlas shows which zone the
area is in, type of shot allowed, wild-
life likely to be found, gives the user
an overhead look at the terrain and
provides a downloadable or printable
map. The mobile version of the atlas
will show hunter location on the area
if granted permission.
Another resource is the Iowa
Habitat Access Program (IHAP),
where private landowners receive as-
sistance to improve habitat on their
land in exchange for opening the
property for hunter access. The pro-
gram has added more than 9,000 acres
where hunters can access private prop-
erty.
Site maps are available at www.io-
wadnr.gov/ihap showing boundaries,
which species would be most likely at-
tracted to the habitat and the location
of a comment box where hunters can
leave their thoughts on the program.
Walk-in public hunting through
IHAP is available between September
