Iowa residents 16 years and older are required to have a valid Hunting License on their person, and have paid all applicable fees and possess all required stamps while hunting except for: landowners and their juvenile children hunting on their own land, hunters 15 years old or younger hunting with a licensed adult, and persons that qualify for special disability or income-related licenses. Additionally, the Habitat Fee is included, so one can hunt or trap anywhere in the state except for residents that have special licenses for the disabled or landowners and their children hunting on their own land.

This license is required of all residents 16 years old and older to hunt wild geese, brant, wild ducks, snipe, rail, woodcock or coot. This fee must be paid even if a hunting license is not required.
