The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will host a series of public meetings across the state to recap the recent hunting seasons and discuss potential rule changes for hunting and trapping…including a meeting this week in Iowa City.

Hunting data for 2025 shows that Iowans bagged nearly 102,000 deer and bought close to 43,000 annual hunting licenses.

The public meetings allow DNR staff to collect feedback from Iowans and discuss potential rule changes. One such meeting is set for the Johnson County Extension Office on Old Hwy 218 South Wednesday night at 5:30.
