Iowa's success story with Eastern Turkey restoration is a testament to the state's dedication to wildlife conservation. Through strategic efforts, including habitat restoration and population management, Iowa has witnessed a remarkable resurgence of these iconic birds.
The availability of both spring and fall turkey hunting seasons provides diverse opportunities for hunters to experience the thrill of pursuing these elusive birds in Iowa's scenic landscapes. Nonresidents are unable to hunt the fall seasons but can acquire spring tags through the states annual drawing.
