The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has changed the designation for the existing refuge on the southeast section of the Hawkeye Wildlife Area, along the Iowa River west of Highway 965, from a “Wildlife Refuge” to a “Waterfowl Refuge.”
That’s according to a news release issued Friday afternoon by the DNR. The agency says that starting on September 1st, there will be no access to the refuge until the final duck season closes. After the final day of duck season, access is allowed into the Waterfowl Refuge to hunt non-waterfowl species for which there is an open season. Trapping is allowed.
For more information, contact the DNR.
