The season for quail, partridge, ruffed grouse, and squirrels closes January 31st. Rabbit season closes February 28th. The furbearer hunting and trapping seasons also close on January 31st. Furharvesters can continue trapping beavers until April 15th.
2021 hunting, fishing and trapping licenses expire on Jan. 10, 2022.

Iowa hunters have reported harvesting 91,000 deer so far during the 2021 season.
