Landowners and tenants in the Raccoon Valley Radio listening area are reaping the benefits of the excess tag season.

Adair and Dallas Counties were part of the 21 counties open to the January Antlerless season. The season started yesterday and goes through the 22nd. Landowners and tenants registered with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources can purchase antlerless licenses from license vendors in their counties, and landowner/tenant licenses are not subject to county quotas.

Because of a compressed timeline, the licenses are only available for purchase at vendors, and not online. Only antlerless deer may be taken during this season.
