(Radio Iowa) - Hundreds of Iowa hunters will hit the fields this holiday weekend for the start of the rabbit and squirrel seasons.
Nate Carr, an Iowa D-N-R conservation officer for Hamilton and Hardin counties, says the weather should be ideal. Carr says shooting hours are sunrise to sunset and you can take up to 10 rabbits per day, while the squirrel daily bag limit is six.
Iowa's rabbit season runs through February 28th, while the squirrel season will end on January 25th. Carr says this Sunday will also kick off the hunting seasons for mourning doves, and for teal.
