Iowa is a shotgun only state. There is also a hnadgun and muzzle loader season but no high power rifle season.
Iowa does have a rifle season now. It is for antlerless, and restricted to northern counties. But a rifle season none the less.
Like said earlier, here in Illinois we are shotgun, muzzleloader, and handgun only for firearms.
Iowa rifle season is for the southern 2 tiers of counties. You were correct it is for does only. It is to help use up Doe only Quota's in high population counties for the purpose of population control. I think it is going to be a late season starting around Jan. 10th and I don't think it last very long.
