SF 10 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to special landowner turkey hunting licenses.

This bill modifies Iowa's special landowner turkey hunting license rules. It allows farm owners or tenants (and their immediate family members) to receive a free license valid only on their specific farm unit, without needing to reside there. The license permits hunting during any open season using authorized methods (bow or firearm) and authorizes harvesting exactly one turkey per license. This updates current law by removing the requirement to designate a specific season for use, while maintaining the one-turkey limit.
