The 1,800-acre refuge section of Hawkeye Wildlife Area in Johnson County will open for public use on Saturday, including for trapping and hunting game species other than waterfowl.
Hunting waterfowl is not allowed at any time on the Hawkeye Wildlife Area waterfowl refuge. The Department of Natural Resources reminds hunters that the main purpose of the refuge is to provide a safe resting and feeding area for waterfowl.
The Hawkeye Wildlife area is in the south duck and goose zone. Iowa’s goose season in the south zone reopens on Saturday. Hunters may not pursue Canada geese in the waterfowl refuge.
All regulations, shooting hours, bag limits, and license and tag requirements apply during the respective seasons. For more information go to iowadnr.gov.
