The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will hold a meeting next week in Perry to discuss the latest hunting and trapping seasons.

The Iowa DNR is inviting area residents to attend a town hall-style meeting on Wednesday, March 4 at the Forest Park Museum Administration Building, 14581 K Avenue, to review the recently completed hunting and trapping seasons. 

Iowa DNR staff members will also discuss possible changes to hunting and trapping rules and regulations and address other topics as requested.

Comments received during previous listening sessions have resulted in regulation changes, including modifying and removing areas closed to Canada goose hunting, establishing later goose season dates and increased bag limit, expanding the raccoon hunting and trapping season on private land, modifying Iowa’s antlerless deer quotas in north central and western Iowa and extending the regular trapping season through the end of February.

The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. on March 4 and is open to the public.
