Any counties with unsold antlerless deer tags on January 10th, 2023, will be open for the excess tag January antlerless-only season.

Eric Hoffmanm a DNR officer who works in Marion County tells KNIA/KRLS Marion County isn’t one of the countries with extra tags this year. So, the antlerless deer hunting will not be taking place in this county. Hoffman tells KNIA/KRLS News one of the benefits of living in Marion County, “We’re pretty fortunate here in Marion County to have the most public hunting access acres in the whole state of Iowa.”

The excess tag January antlerless season was created by the Iowa legislature in the 2022 session.
