More hunting licenses for disabled nonresident veterans
Beginning July 1, 2025, Iowa raises this nonresident wild turkey license allocation cap from 75 to 125. Within that total, 75 licenses, up from 25, are set aside for qualifying disabled nonresident veterans and service members. The organized-hunt program also makes 75 nonresident deer licenses available. Participants must have served, or be serving, on active federal duty and have been disabled during military service. They must join a hunt run by an organization that provides hunting experiences in Iowa for disabled people.
Extra deer licenses for Iowa disabled veterans
Beginning July 1, 2025, qualifying Iowa resident disabled veterans can get one extra license to hunt deer of either sex. It is available in addition to any other deer license they qualify for. Hunters can use it during any established firearm deer season, using that season’s allowed hunting method. Applicants must have served on federal active duty and been disabled during military service, with disability verified by the Iowa Department of Veterans Affairs. They must submit the required form showing residency and disability status.
