🦃 Fall Turkey Season is here.
Quiet woods.
Crisp mornings.
Fallen leaves underfoot.
A flock moving through the timber.
There’s something special about being out in the Iowa woods in October—when the mornings are cool, the leaves are turning, and the forest seems to slow down just a little.
If turkey season brings you to southern Iowa, Little River Inn Motel is here to welcome you at the end of the day.
🍂 Explore. Hunt. Rest. Repeat.
Good luck out there, and safe hunting!
October 12 – December 4
Always check current Iowa DNR regulations for season dates, licenses, and requirements.
DID YOU KNOW? 🦃
Wild turkeys are native to North America—but by the 1520s, turkeys had made their way across the Atlantic to England. The exotic new bird even found its way onto the table of King Henry VIII, who is credited as the first English king to enjoy turkey.
From the forests of North America to a Tudor king’s table—and, 500 years later, still roaming the autumn woods of Iowa.
Now that’s a well-traveled turkey. 🦃🍂
