The start of the new year is here and with that comes the renewal of the annual hunting and fishing licenses in Iowa. 

The 2021 resident hunting, fishing, and other licenses are now on sale. According to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, the options include the Outdoor Combo annual resident hunting/fishing/habitat combo license for $55, the Angler’s Special three-year fishing license for $62, and Hunter’s Special three-year hunting license with habitat included for $101. You can also add a bonus line option for $14 which allows resident and nonresident anglers to fish with one more line in addition to the two lines allowed with a regular license. 

You can upgrade your paper license to a hard copy with custom art from Iowa artists for $5. The current licenses, purchased for 2020, expire on January 10th. You can purchase those through the DNR or your county recorder’s office.
