Iowa shotgun Deer hunting season starts Saturday morning. The DNR is encouraging hunters to plan ahead.

The Iowa DNR is expecting around 70,000 hunters this season, but with less than a week before the start date, only about 30 percent of licenses had been sold.

Iowa hunters can get their licenses online or at various retailers.
