NATURAL RESOURCE COMMISSION RULE ON MOURNING DOVE SEASON
Wednesday, May 11th at 1:00 pmRoom 116, State Capitol in Des Moines
Mourning dove season, IAB Vol. XXXIII, No. 22 ARC 9496B, NOTICE.
2011 Iowa Acts, Senate File 464, added the mourning dove to the list of game birds or
animals for which the Natural Resources Commission may establish a hunting season.
With this specific statutory authorization, the Commission proposes the following season:
571--97.6(481A) Mourning dove season. Open season for hunting mourning doves shall begin on
September 1 and continue for 70 consecutive days. Shooting hours shall be from one-half hour
before sunrise to sunset each day. Daily bag limit is 15; possession limit is 30. The entire state is open.
The proposal states that the new season will have a positive effect on Iowa’s economy,
with Iowa hunters spending $104/day hunting upland game. The Commission estimates a potential for 67.5 to 90 new jobs.
For further information (including meeting time and place changes—things are very unsettled in the Legislature at present), please contact--
We need you to contact the following Senators and Representatives – by phone or email – today. Please express your support for the DNR Rule establishing a mourning dove season for Iowa.
