All hunters who pursue migratory game birds are required to register for Harvest Information Program either through the Go Outdoors Iowa app on a smartphone, through a link at www.iowadnr.gov/waterfowl or at www.gooutdoorsiowa.com.
Migratory game birds mean more than ducks and geese; in Iowa it includes mourning doves, ducks, geese, coots, doves, woodcock, rails and snipe.
Once registered, hunters will need to write a confirmation number on their license, print an updated copy of their license with the confirmation or take a screenshot of their confirmation on their phone to show proof of registration. Requiring a confirmation number will allow the Department of Natural Resources to better track migratory bird hunters - a federal requirement.
