Iowa’s turkey population is plentiful headed into hunting season

(Radio Iowa) – Iowa’s turkey hunting season opens this weekend and it’s estimated up to 35-thousand hunters will participate this year. Nate Carr, an Iowa D-N-R conservation officer for Hardin and Hamilton counties, says the agency’s surveys are showing a healthy population of wild turkeys. “It’s looking like a fairly promising year,” Carr says. “We’ve had three straight years of good hatches, pretty good spring weather, so that’s led to stronger numbers. I think we’re looking at comparable harvests to last year, hopefully, a little bit of an uptick is always good to see.”

The first turkey season runs today (Friday) through Sunday and is for Iowa youth only. The first of the four regular seasons opens Monday and they’ll run through May 12th. “Some things hunters want to make sure they’ve got in their pocket before they go, there’s of course their hunting license, and habitat fee,” Carr says. “So, hunting license if you’re 16 and older is required, habitat for you if you’re ages 16 to 64, and then a valid tag for the season that you’re hunting.”

Carr reminds you, there is a bag limit. “Each hunter can get up to two tags with at least one being for season four,” Carr says. “Shooting hours for turkey is a half hour before sunrise to sunset, so traditionally, hunters get out there well before sunrise to get in with the turkeys before they start gobbling.”

There was a free-for-all on Iowa turkeys in the early 1900s, and between hunting and drastic reductions in habitat, the big birds eventually disappeared from Iowa’s woodlands and forests. Wild turkeys were reintroduced in 1966 and have since expanded their numbers across the entire state. Learn more at www.iowadnr.gov.

IWD continues working with Tyson workers as closing looms

News

April 5th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Iowa Workforce Development executive director Beth Townsend says they are continuing to meet with workers at the Tyson plant in Perry as the June closing date approaches. “We have been working with the local economic developers with the mayor, with the community with Tyson, with D-Mack, with other nonprofit entities. We’ve had our mobile unit on site twice, ” she says.

She says they have now also opened a transitional office. “So that people can come in between, before, or after shifts,” Townsend says. “We will be there…two or three days a week from now until you know there’s no longer in need to help people.” Tyson says it has offered workers a chance to take jobs at other facilities. Townsend says the may or may not be an option for employees. “It always comes down to individual factors, right. And so our focus is going to be on helping the everyone who wants to stay in Perry find jobs in the local area. And we’re lucky because you know, they’re very close to Polk in Dallas County,” Townsend says.

She says there are many job openings in those areas. “That’s where we’re going to be spending a lot of our focuses on helping individuals find jobs that would not require them to move around the state,” she says.

There are approximately 13-hundred Tyson workers that will be impacted when the plant closes at the end of June. There are other ancillary businesses that are also expected to layoff workers in connection with the closing.
