LICENSE INFORMATION:
In Iowa, all non-resident deer tags are distributed through a lottery system. The application period runs from the first Saturday in May to the first Sunday in June each year. During this time, hunters can apply for a tag or purchase preference points if they choose not to enter the drawing. Preference points increase the chances of drawing a tag in future seasons, making them a valuable option for those planning ahead. Firearm season will take 1-3 points to draw where archery seasons are taking 4-6 points. Huntin' Fool License Application Service will help you apply at the time of application.
