CEDAR RAPIDS - The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is holding six meetings across the state to receive input from waterfowl hunters on waterfowl zones and seasons.
On Nov. 10, the DNR will hold a listening session in Cedar Rapids at the Wickiup Hill Nature Center, 10260 Morris Hills Road at 6 p.m.
“States have the ability to review their zones and boundaries every five years. This is an opportunity for us to revisit this and decide if we want to make any changes to our boundaries or seasons structure,” said Orrin Jones, state waterfowl biologist for the Iowa DNR.
Hunter input will be included in a December proposal to the Natural Resource Commission of the Iowa DNR, for discussion and review prior to being sent to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service before a May deadline.
Hunters may also provide their input by sending an email to wildlife@dnr.iowa.gov.
