BOW HUNTING
   GUIDE
  2020-2021

The purpose of this program is to Safely manage the
     deer population within the City of LeClaire
No person shall pursue, hunt, kill, snare, net, search for, shoot, stalk, or lie in wait for any game,
animal, or bird with an air gun, BB gun, firearm, bow and arrow, or any other thrown or propelled
device within the city limits except as provided below.

Licensed bow hunters meeting the requirements established by the state department of natural
resources (DNR) may ONLY hunt deer within the areas designated as the "LeClaire In City Hunt
Deer Management Zones" on public or private property, under all the following conditions:

Each hunter must possess a State of Iowa hunting license and a City of LeClaire Deer Hunting
Permit. In order for the permit to be issued, the hunter must agree to abide by the following rules
and regulations. Noncompliance with these rules is a violation of LeClaire City Code.

Hunters must pass an authorized archery proficiency test each year with the bow they will use to
hunt with in the city. The test will consist of 5 total shots at 20 yards. The hunter must score at
least an 80% within an eight inch (5”) circle.

Tests must be administered by a member of the LeClaire Police Department or a qualified
individual designated by the Chief of Police. The test will be administered at B&B Shooting
Supplies, 2152 State Street or R&R Sports, 3250 Fields Drive, both in Bettendorf, Iowa. This is
the same test used by Davenport and Bettendorf. If you also hunt in either of those cities you will
only need to qualify one time. It is your responsibility to make the B&B staff, or the R&R staff
aware of which city, or cities you plan to hunt in and obtain from them the appropriate
documentation from them.

Prior to being administered the test each hunter must show a valid hunting license, hunter safety
certificate (per state requirement), and a signed letter of permission from the landowner listing the
name of the hunter and location of property to be hunted.

After completion of the proficiency test and safety course, hunters will be issued a Special Use
Permit from the LeClaire Police Chief or designee’s office located at 325 Wisconsin Street.
Please bring all required documentation with you to LeClaire City Hall! E.g., ( Hunting License,
Hunter Safety Card, Proficiency Card from B&B or R&R Sports, Written Permission from Land
Owner and your Driver’s License, if applicable).

Hunting may occur only on dates designated by the State of Iowa, as bow hunting season, Hunters
shall be persons who are at Least 16 years of age. Persons under 16 meeting all necessary
requirements listed in this document may hunt if accompanied by a properly licensed adult who
also possess a LeClaire Hunting Permit. The adult must be in direct control of the minor at all
times during the hunt.

While participating in any and all activities associated with hunting within the city limits hunters
must carry on his or her person a Valid hunting License, photo ID, LeClaire Hunting Permit, a
written permission form, and the portion of the special deer management zone map which verifies
that the property is within the zone; and be ready to display such documents at the request of any
Peace Officer, Land Owner , or City Official.

Hunters must comply with the City of LeClaire Hunting ordinance as well as Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) rules and regulations for the State of Iowa.

Safety is our foremost concern. Hunters must insure that all shots are made carefully and safely.
All shots must be made from a safe position away from maintained roads, trails and structures.

If hunting from a stand with a platform less than 10 feet in height or from a ground blind you must
maintain a minimum distance of 50 yards from any property line not zoned for hunting.

Only portable stands may be used unless permission is granted by the land owner.

No baiting, driving, or stalking of deer is allowed.

Field dressing inside the city limits is not allowed without permission of the property owner and if
permitted all remains must be discreetly placed so as not to be visible from any roadway or
common area used by the general public. .

Hunters must make a reasonable effort to cover harvested deer or have them enclosed so they are
not visible when transporting.

Legal Hunting areas shall be designated by the LeClaire City Council. Land Owners may submit a
written request to the council to have their property considered for inclusion. This request shall be
made to the City Administrator between January 2nd and May 1st of each calendar year. Written
request received after May 1st may be considered by the Council. Those not considered will be
held for discussion the following year.

Violation of city specific hunting regulations will result in loss of hunting privileges for one year
for the first offense, two years for the second offense, and lifetime for third and subsequent
offenses. A violation of a City specific hunting regulation will be considered a violation of City
Code section 55.20. All other Violations will carry scheduled fine amounts set forth by the State
of Iowa.

The Chief of Police may at any time Suspend / Revoke / or Reinstate an individual’s” In City”
Hunting Privileges.

Hunters must check in all deer harvested within the City Limits. Check in will be at the Police
Department within 24 hours of recovering the animal. If an Officer is not available hunters are to
leave a recorded message to include their name, phone number, sex of animal, number of points if
