Thought some of you NR hunters might be interested in this if your not already aware. I got this from a weekly email I get from the DNR.
NEW NONRESIDENT HOLIDAY DEER LICENSES NOW ON SALE
DES MOINES -- A new license and season created earlier this year is
giving nonresident hunters who missed out on the regular seasons another
chance to hunt deer in Iowa.
The Nonresident Holiday Deer Hunting License, which went on sale Monday
(Dec. 15), is designed for those nonresidents who may be spending a
limited amount of time in Iowa over the holidays. It is valid from Dec.
24, 2003, to Jan. 2, 2004, a time when many nonresidents return to Iowa
to spend time with family and friends.
"The new Nonresident Deer Hunting License is timed specifically for
that period when many people take vacation and come home for the
holiday," said Alan Foster, spokesperson for the Iowa DNR. "Spending
time in the deer woods is a good way to burn off a few of those
Christmas calories, and at $50.50, it is substantially less expensive
than regular nonresident deer licenses."
Only those hunters who have not already obtained a nonresident deer
hunting license this season are eligible. All licenses are for
antlerless-deer only, and a recent check showed roughly 800 were still
available. Hunters must choose between any one of the 10 hunting zones
in the state, however there is no quota per zone. Zone maps are
available on the internet at www.iowadnr.com or in the 2003 Iowa Deer
and Fall Turkey Hunting Regulations and License Instructions booklet.
Licenses, along with the booklet, are available at the roughly 900
license vendors who sell Iowa licenses.
Only qualifying muzzleloaders, handguns and bows may be used during the
season. In addition to the deer license, hunters must have a valid small
game hunting license and habitat fee.
Having a small game hunting licenses means they can also hunt any other
small game species in season at the time, such as pheasant, rabbit and
squirrel, Foster added.
