Flexible free turkey licenses for farm families
Beginning July 1, 2025, Iowa provides free annual turkey licenses for qualifying farm owners, tenants, and their families. One license goes to the owner or one family member, not both. A separate license goes to the tenant or one family member, not both. Owners and tenants do not need to live on the farm. Each license allows one wild turkey, only on the qualifying farm, and matches the state's least restrictive turkey license. Holders can hunt during any open turkey season without choosing a season in advance. They must use a hunting method allowed that season and follow other applicable restrictions.
