Today (Thursday) marks the start of teal and dove hunting seasons in Iowa. Nate Carr, a conservation officer with the Iowa D-N-R, says non-toxic shot is required and guns must be restricted to hold no more than three shells.

The daily bag limit for teal is six, while for dove, it’s 15. Carr says all forecasts point to a good season ahead for Iowa’s hunters.

Hunters need to maintain restraint with respect to the special teal season’s hours.

Teal seasons runs today through September 16th, while the dove season continues through November 29th.
