DES MOINES – Starting Jan. 1, Iowa hunters and anglers will have new licenses from which to choose, including:
- Bonus Line License – allowing resident and nonresident anglers to fish with one additional line (the regular fishing license allows two), for $12.
- Outdoor Combo License –annual resident hunting/fishing/habitat combo license for $47.
- Angler’s Special – a three-year fishing license (for 2013 license purchases, it will expire Jan. 10, 2016) for $53.
- Hunter’s Special – a three-year hunting license with habitat included (for 2013 license purchases, it will expire Jan. 10, 2016) for $86.
These new license offerings were developed based on results from a license buyer survey that helped the DNR identify customer needs. The new licenses offer time saving convenience of purchasing a bundled license, lessens the worry about expiring every year and expands fishing opportunities with a new third line option.
