Welcome to the Go Outdoors Electronic Licensing System of Iowa

Harvest Information Program (HIP)

Hunters who purchase a license and plan to pursue migratory game birds will be required to register for Harvest Information Program (HIP). Migratory game birds mean more than ducks and geese; it includes ducks, geese, coots, doves, woodcock, rails, and snipe.

Once registered, hunters will need to write their confirmation number on the line provided at the top of their hunting license as proof of registration. The HIP registration can be found in the GoOutdoorsIowa mobile app by clicking on the purchase license button, and then logging in to your account. 

Registering for HIP is a federal requirement for all migratory bird hunters.
