Lee County Conservation areas ready for dove season

Posted

BY PCC STAFF

LEE COUNTY - Dove season begins this Saturday in Iowa. Lee County Conservation would like to remind area hunters that LCC has several dove fields prepared for the season. This year, Sugar Creek Bottoms, Turkey Run Wildlife Area, North Heron Bend, and Amborn-Pagin all provide opportunities for dove hunting. Each area contains sunflowers, wheat, or a combination of the two.

Dustin Johnson, Wildlife Management Assistant for Lee County Conservation, hopes the fields will produce results for hunters. “Considering the dry weather, the sunflowers and wheat turned out great to excellent on many areas.," Johnson said. "I would recommend concentrating on the areas with sunflowers first and then trying the areas with only wheat like Amborn-Pagin as the season progresses."

Dove hunters will have limited access to North Heron Bend on Saturday, Sept. 1st due to a youth dove hunt being held on the property. The area will open to all hunters in the afternoon following the youth event.

For questions about dove hunting and other hunting opportunities on Lee County Conservation areas, please call the Lee County Conservation Office at (319) 463-7673.
