IOWA CONSERVATIONISTtheme for'By Lee GladfelterDeer BiologistThe cool crisp wind and sparkling snow of December seems along way off as we bask in thehot summer sun, but plans arenow underway for another exciting deer season in Iowa. In 1973one objective of the deer seasonregulations is to improve thequality of the hunt and providemore recreation for Iowa deerhunters. Let's take a quick lookat the past to see how currentregulations have developed.At the turn of the centurydeer were scarce in Iowa andwere protected from hunting. By1953 the size of the deer herd had3

Modest harvestof surplus deer continued formany years and deer numberscontinued to grow until 1966,when they reached a peak andbegan to decline Restrictions onhunting took the form of shorterseasons and fewer hunters andthe downward trend of the herdwas finally stopped in 1971.In 1972 the deer herd beganto increase again m many areas.A modified bucks only seasonheld in two hunting zones lastyear is credited with helping tomcrease the deer herd and at thesame time allowed more huntersin the field for a longer periodof time. Reaction of the deerhunters to the new season wasmostly favorable. The first stephad been taken for quality hunting m Iowa. A longer season allowed hunters to slow down fromthe "rat-race" of previous twoday seasons. Most hunters wererequired to hunt for antleredbucks only meaning more skillwas involved in huntmg for thesly and secretive buck and moreprestige was obtamed by harvestmg an adult buckShotgun SeasonIn 1973 the modified bucksonly season is being expanded toall h unting zones. Adult bucksare currently m excess in thedeer population because they arepolygamous (one adult can breedwith many different does). Because of this behavior manybucks can be harvested withoutaffecting the potenttal of the herdto increase in size. Another objective of the 1973 season IS to produce a small increase in the deerherd because the carrying capacity of the habitat has not yet beenreached. As the deer herd grows,more surplus ammals are produced which means huntmg seasons can contmue to be liberalized.This year, "bucks only" licenses will be issued to the majority of the hunters at differentrates according to the huntingzone (see map). The remamingllcenses will be Issued for anysex or age deer These any sexhcenses are allowed because a

By using the modified bucks only season a greatdeal can be accomplished for improving the quality of deer hunting in Iowa. Hunting success willbe lower because many hunterswill be restricted to hunting foradult bucks only (must have atleast one forked antler) butother factors have been addedto the season to help compensatefor this.1. One of the big advantagesof the modified "bucks only" season is that almost everyone thatapplies for a license will get one.The license quota has been increased from the 1972 limit of19,000 to 27,500 for this year(10,000 hunters d id not receive alicense in 1972 and are guaranteed a license in 1973) . The license quotas by hunting zones areshown on the map. This seasonallows more days and hours ofbig game hunting recreation forthe citizens of Iowa.2. The season length has beenincreased to 5 consecutive days(December 1- 5) in all huntingzones. Hunters can slow downand gain more enjoyment fromthe outdoors and hunting withclose companions. In the future itmay be possible to increase theseason length even more - perhaps to 7 or 9 consecutive days.3. The hunting hours havebeen changed to sunrise to sunsetto help hunters take advantage ofthe peak movement periods ofdeer.The modified bucks only deerseason will hopefully be the answer to increasing the deer herdand bring some quality deerhunting to Iowa. There has beena great deal of bad publicity onbucks only seasons in some northern lake states and eastern states.The reason for this publicity isthat the deer herds in these statesgrew so large under these restrictive seasons that the carrycapacity of the habitat was exceeded. When this happened,many deer starved to death because of lack of food and harshwinter conditions. Neither ofthese conditions exist in Iowa because Iowa does not accumulategreat depths of snow forcing deerinto crowded conditions and thereis plenty of browse and wastecorn in the fields to sustain theherd. In recent years many midwestern states have recognizedthe value of a modified bucksonly season to build up deerherds. Our problem now is notmale animals are produced, thereby providing a larger supply ofbucks. Research shows that 122male fawns are born to each 100female fawns. Nature has provided for heavier mortality of themale deer population.Hunters r ece 1v1n g "bu c k sonly" licenses this year will haveto be very careful to select onlyadult bucks when hunting. Make . . .,.' . "'b .z" 0c; ; :v;. ." J enough deer to meet the recreational demands instead of toomany deer for the habitat.Some hunters may fear thatafter several seasons all buckswill be shot. This is not true sincethe male fawn 1s protected fromthe majority of the hunters andwill provide a big boost to theadult population each year. Also,as the deer herd grows, m oresure of the target before a shotis fired. After a few hours in thefield, lookmg for a r ack on thatdeer will become autom atic fo rthe cautious deer hunter.

By ] on GibsonInformation SpecialistWant to know how somesquirrel hunters seem to limit outthroughout the season? Odds arethat they studied up on squirrelhabits ahead of time and scoutedout the best places before theseason began.A bigger game bag will be thereward when the hunter knowswhere the squirrels are, andthat's usually where the food is.The successful squirrel hunterprepares early in the seasonto know when, where, and uponwhat the squirrels in his area arefeeding. A knowledge of whenand upon what squirrels feed canbe gained from a little homework.Walnuts, Hickory Nuts & CornDurmg the warm weather ofearly autumn, squirrel feedinghabits are determined by both thedigestable energy content and thetaste of a given food item, andthe rate of the mast (nut) crop'smaturity Foods from whichsquirrels can digest a lot of energy are needed to add layers offat to their bodies in preparationfor winter weather. Althoughthey have thick shells and arehard to crack open, hickory nutsand walnuts have the high energycontent to make them the favorite of squirrels at this time of theyear. Consequently, the hunterwho plans to stalk the dawn onopening day should locate thebest stand of hickory and walnuttrees beforehand.One mteresting note is howsome sqUirrels crack the problemthat the hard hulls of walnutscreate. After gnawing a hole inthe hull of a walnut, squirrels letthe walnut rest on the ground fora few days. Insects lay eggs inthe exposed core of the hull andthe larvae that develop turn thetough, green hull into a soft,brown pulp. SqUirrels can theneasily gnaw through the partially-rotted hull.The sweet taste of ripened fieldcorn can often alter the fall feeding habits of Iowa fox squirrelsRarely with grays, but often withfox squirrels, there is a briefpenod in late summer or earlyautumn when most trees will beforsaken for cornfields. Corn isn'tas concentrated in protein as mostnuts, and is therefore a temporary, luxury item If just beforeseason begins the woodlands seemdevoid of both squirrels and anysign of their activity, then checkout any adjacent cornfields. Itjust may be the ticket to baggingyour limit on opening day.The more northerly-facing aslope is, then the shorter thegrowing season is for the trees onit. As the growing season for mosttrees becomes shorter, the soonerthose trees must bear their nutcrop. Therefore, trees on morenortherly-facing slopes may havea bigger, better nut crop beforethose on the south-facmg slopes.If the hunter fmds that most ofthe squirrels are feeding on a particular kind of nut, then verylikely the squirrels will move,over the course of a week or two,from north-facing to south-facingslopes as that nut crop progresSively matures. In this manner,squirrels can feed on prime quality mast nearly all of the time.The wise hunter keeps this inmmd while m the field. Forexample, if a stand of hickory

This littletrick can be the difference between a successful trip and anunsuccessful one.Late Season Means AcornsFactors that influence the feeding habits of squirrels in late falland during the winter are howquickly and easily a food itemcan be eaten and digested, and itstaste. A food item's ability to beeaten quickly and easily is import ant to a squirrel in cold weather.Energy lost as heat to keep warmcan be costly to a squirrel if Mr.Bushytail attempts the difficult,time-consuming task of crackingopen an old, winter- hardenedwalnut. Look for squirrels to befeeding on easily-opened, thinshelled acorns in cold weather.

While squirrels arefeeding, their movements offerthe h u n t e r h is best chanceof spotting them among thebranches or on the ground. In fallthere are three daily feedingperiods for Iowa fox squirrels:7 - 8 a.m , 11 a.m. - noon, and 6 - 7p .m ., CST As a general rule, Iowagray squirrels feed both earlier9

This happens after a gradualtransition between the fall andwinter feeding periods. The fallfeeding times are reliable enoughthat the opening day hunterusually doesn't have to w orryabout the daily feeding times forsquirrels in his area. Late fall orearly winter hunters, however,should be alert as to whethersquirrels are still feeding two orthree times a day, or beginning tofeed during the midday periodalone.Scouting the KeyGoing out early in the falland locating the areas containingthe various types of food i ternsputs to practice all the background information you nowhave on squirrel feeding habits.Unless you have a good memory,it just might help to take notes onwhere the best areas are. Mostsquirrel hunters are familiar withlocal stands of black walnut,shagbark hickory, white oak, buroak, and red oak. When surveying new territory, however, thereare a few guidelines to helplocate mast trees. White oak andred oak trees show a preferencefor north-facing slopes with thewhite oaks likely to be found atthe higher elevations. In contrast,bur oak and shagbark hickorytrees are more likely to be growing on south-facing slopes. Buroaks are similar to the white oakabove in that they favor the loftier areas. Finally, well-drainedbottomlands are the best bet forblack walnut trees.To determine whether squirrels are currently feeding in anarea, hunters usually rely on thepresence or absence of "cuttings."Cuttings are the discarded shellsof nuts that squirrels have fed on.Fresh cuttings will be firm witha white color on the inside surface while old cuttings show apulpy texture and a yellow color.Armed with the backgroundknowledge of both what squirrelslike to feed upon and when theyprefer to do it, and with the information gained from earlyscouting on both the location ofpossible food sources and whichones are currently being used,the only way a squirrel huntercan miss is with his gun.11

12 Native grasses, like those in native Iowa pra iries (shown) moy o ne day make pasture land and wildl ife compatible.Native grasses that southernIowa farmers are begmmng touse successfully for summer pasture may also be beneficial toquail, pheasant, and other wildlife populations.A Chanton Valley ResourceConservation and DevelopmentProject is underway to study thepossible benefits these grassesprovide to cattlemen and ourIowa wildlife. The study involvesthe wildlife section of the IowaConservation Commission; Lucas,Wayne and Appanoose Sml Conservation D1stncts, the U.S ArmyCorps of Engineers; the USDASoil Conservation Service; andseveral area farmers.Participants believe the samehigh-level management practicesthat farmers use to maintaingrasses like Switchgrass, Indian-grass and Big Bluestem for pasture may also benefit wildhfe.These grasses are not grazed untilm1d-July and should thereforeprov1de undisturbed nesting coverfor small game. These grasses,growmg up to eight feet tall, cannot be grazed closer than eightinches to the ground to assureadequate regrowth the followingyear. This stubble may providewmter cover.Cattle grazmg, particularly insouthern Iowa, 1s an increasingagncultural practice. Currently,most pastures are planted to"cool season" grasses such asbrome, orchard or bluegrassOften these pastures also containclover and trefoil These "coolseason" grasses grow well duringthe spring and fall but duringmid to late summer when condi-tions are hot and dry they become dormant However, thenative grasses are "warm season"grasses; that IS, they reach theirmaximum growth in mid to latesummer and provide excellentgrazing from mid-J uly to September. Therefore, these " w armseason" and "cool season" grassescompliment each other and canbe used effectively in a pasturerotation programThe cattleraiser can use the cool seasongrasses as pasture during thesprmg and early summer whentheir growth and forage quality isbest and then rotate his cattle tothe native grass pastures duringlate summer when their growthand forage quahty is greatest.The cooperative study involvesplanting nat1ve grasses on tensepara tc ten-acre plots around

From thebiologist's standpoint it will helpdetermine if the prairie grasseshave value for wildlife habitatand which grasses are the best. Itwill also give them experience in"farming" prairie grasses. TheSCS will gain practical information on the establishment andmanagement of pra1ne grassesfor pasture production and mformation on the number of cattlea unit of land will handle. Sincethis land is in public ownershipit will give everyone a chance toobserve some of the grasses thatwere once abundant in Iowa.Although the grasses wereplanted this spring, work startedon the project last summer. Afterthe fields were selected, grainsorghum was planted and harvested. Harvest was delayed mfour fields by weather. Residuesfrom the sorgh urn were rotarymowed and used for mulch,which will protect the soil fromerosiOn and provide some weedcontrol while the grasses are becoming established.

The season datesare from October 13 to November25 (both dates inclusive) andDecember 8- 16 (both dates inclusive) which represents an increased bow season of 53 days.Hunting hours and bag limits remain the same as in previousyears.Deer License ApplicationProceduresShotgun - A random drawingwill be conducted to determinethe 27,500 applicants to rece1ve ahcense and also whether the hcense IS a bucks only or an anysex hcense Those who submitedvalid application and do not re-ceive a deer hcense will havetheir money refunded and will begiven a certificate which guarantees them a hcense next year.Landowner - Tenant - Thesespecial hcenses are Issued without cost to quahfied landownersor tenants who live on their farm-ing unit. They will be issued bythe Conservation Commission;therefore, if application is submitted by mail, allow two weeksfor delivery. Applications forthese licenses must reach theCommission office by November16, 1973, to assure applicants ofa license before opening day ofthe shotgun season. These licenses restrict the individual tohunt only on his own farm unit.A drawing will be held for landowner-tenant applicants to determine the type of license thatwill be Issued Licenses will beIssued at the same rate of bucksonly to any sex as the paid shotgun huntersBow and Arrow - There is norestriction on the number of bowand arrow hcenses to be issuedat a fee of 10.00 each. Zones donot apply to bow hunters sincea license entitles the hunter tohunt statewide. There are no restrictions on sex and age of deerthat can be taken by archers.1972 SeasonThe 1972 deer harvest wasshghtly higher than in 1971 despite the large quantities of unplcked corn left in the f1eld during the shotgun season. Of the11,813 deer harvested, paid shotgun hunters reported taking 7,747,while landowners harvested 2, 738and bow hunters added another1,328.Paid shotgun hunters in theany sex zones recorded a 44%hunting success while landownersobtained a 34% success. Paidshotgun hunters in the modifiedbucks only zones reported a success of 30 -c for the bucks only and63 /o for the any sex hcenses. Thehigh any sex license success ratioIS due to party hunting. The landowner hunters in the same zonesrecorded a 20 1o success for bucksonly and 39% success for the anysex licenses. A new record success rate was set in 1972 by bowhunters with 20.5% of the archers connecting.

"xl8'There has been a great deal ofinterest in recent years in wildfoods - wild herbs and variousother edible plants that can befound along roadside ditches,fields, and even backyards. Themost noticeable person creatinginterest in wild foods is Mr. EuellGibbons, who has an entire seriesof books out concerning wildfoods and wild herbs. Most notable among these are "Stalkingthe Wild Asparagus," "Stalkingthe Good Life," and "Stalking theHealthful Herbs." These bookshave caused many Iowans to become more interested in the outof-doors not only as a source ofbeauty but also as a source of enjoyment for the gourmet.Many plants that you and Imight consider "weeds" may notbe merely weeds; they may be ahealthful and delicious meal forus if properly prepared. Gathering wild plants and preparingthem is something that a persondoesn't do immediately. It takestime to learn what types of plantsare suitable and how to preparethem. One of the best ways toidentify wild foods and wildherbs would be to purchase agood guide book on herbs andplants to be found in the wildsand then choose one or two fromthis g uide book and spend thebetter part of a day trying tolocate that particular plant.It is important that the Identification of the plant be positive.If in doubt, consult someone thatis an expert on the identificationof plants so you m ay be sure thatyou have the right one.Some of the more commonwild foods are the walnut andhickory nut and some of the various types of berries, such as theblackberry and wild strawberry.Other plants that may cause somedifficulty would be the milkweedplant, plantain which is very similar in looks to dandelion ex ceptit does not have the leaf-shapethat dandelion has, and some ofthe types of thistles. All of theseplants are edible if prepared inthe proper manner.There are other plants thatmay not be completely edible butyet serve a healthful purpose.Many, many years ago the nativeAmericans and the settlers knewof the healthful values in some ofthe plants surrounding them.Much of the medicine years agowas made from the plants thatthe people had to work with. Mr.Gibbons mentions that the wildblue violet is a very healthfulherb and if prepared in the proper manner makes an excellentcough syrup. Such medicines asdigitalus, which is used today forheart patients, came from a plant.The marsh marigold, for example,has healthful values.There are many ways, ofcourse, that you can identifyplants. One method is, of course,to leave the plant there, remember it and then return for obser' Another method of identivation.fication would be to take colorslides of the particular plant intheir location, have the film developed, and label the slide soyou can refresh your memoryeach spring. One final way wouldbe to build a plant press, andpress these plants so that theycan be kept dry at home forreadily i dent i fi a b 1e purposes .There are many ways to build aplant press; however, the important thing to remember is thatthe plant must be pressed flat andthe liquid squeezed from it. Thisis done usually under pressure.There are types, such as the lattice type of plant press, which ismade as sh own in Illustration 1or you might build a plant presswhere bolts with wing nuts areused to tighten the boards together and cause pressure to beapplied to the plant. Remember,too, t h at when you are pickingplants for your plant presses,state parks, preserves, and certainother designated areas are "offlimits to collecting " It is one waythat the people of Iowa can allhave the satisfaction of seeing thevarious wild plants that Iowa hasto offer them. Th1s might be thetime of year that you would wantto collect some plants for classroom use for your sch ool assignments. It's an excellent time tovisit Iowa's out-of-doors, enjoyingit and appreciating all it has tooffer.15
