Deer hunting is underway in Iowa with the first two seasons requiring hunters to use a couple of the older methods of hunting. DNR state deer biologist Jace Elliott says the bow and early muzzleloader seasons have started slowly.
He says hunters understand the impact of weather on deer movement, and that impacts their decision on when to sit in their stands.
The bow hunting season is the longest one, so there is plenty of time for those hunters to get a deer.
The early muzzleloader season runs through this coming weekend. There have been around 5,000 deer taken already. The most deer are taken during the regular gun seasons that don’t start until December.
