DES MOINES -- The bobcat quota has been filled, and the season closed as of 9 p.m. Saturday, beginning the 48-hour grace period for trappers to report any animals to a conservation officer and receive their proper tags. The grace period officially ends at 9 p.m. today.

The 48-hour grace period only applies to trappers to allow time to move traps from areas likely frequented by bobcats. Hunters are not allowed a grace period.

Bobcats trapped after the grace period must be turned over to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

Thanks for the pictures and info on Iowa, Emily. I read it with great interest, since that is where I lived when I got my first coon hound. Keep us posted.
