BOONE, Iowa - Iowa hunters are awaiting the arrival of dove hunting season.

Upland Wildlife Research Biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Todd Bogenschutz told KXCV/KRNW that he expects a good dove hunting season, but recommends hunters to do some preseason scouting to see if the sunflower planting was successful in dove use or damaged due to hail storms.
