DNR Public Meetings in Recap Hunting, Trapping Seasons

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is hosting a series of town hall-style meetings where local staff will provide updates on recently completed hunting and trapping seasons.

Todd Bishop, chief of the Iowa DNR’s Wildlife Bureau, adds, “Part of the meeting will be devoted to discussing potential rule changes and collecting feedback as we work through the rules process.”

Comments collected from these public meetings will be considered along with other related comments received by the Iowa DNR prior to proposing changes to hunting rules and regulations, which will be presented to the Natural Resource Commission for consideration and additional public comment.
