New Duck Hunting Quota Hunt Opportunity Coming Soon!
In order to provide more opportunities for duck hunters, we are adding new quota permits for select locations to public lands. This fall there is a completely new quota hunt opportunity for duck hunters to apply for 3, 4, or 7-day hunts. These short term hunts will be at one of 2 types of locations: agency built blinds (Tier 2) or staked locations (Tier 3) to hunt within 25 feet. There will be 42 Tier 2 locations and 10 Tier 3 locations. Hunters can apply for Tier 2 and 3 permits online in the quota hunt system (like the existing deer/turkey quota system) in 3 application periods, the first one beginning Oct. 6. TK
