Today's Hunter in Iowa: A Guide to Hunting Responsibly and Safely is a student manual developed for hunting students in Iowa, approved by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. This manual introduces you to U.S. hunting regulations and provides general information about firearm equipment, basic shooting and hunting skills, ethics and safety, survival skills, and wildlife identification.
Iowa hunters love the beautiful colors and rich bounty of Chinese Ringneck pheasants in the switchgrass fields near the Iowa River Corridor. Bird-lovers can also find goose, duck, teal, turkey, and dove. Deer are also a popular target. The Loess Hills State Forest and Rathbun Wildlife Area were named among the 100 best public-land hunts in the U.S.
With this handbook, you can ensure you are well-prepared to make every hunting trip a safe one. Hunting safety is everyone’s responsibility.
