Exciting 2025 Controlled Hunts: More Opportunities for Deer, Elk, Antelope, and Turkey
Act fast—applications close May 20, 2025.
The Controlled Hunts application period is now open, offering hunters incredible chances to pursue deer, elk, antelope, and turkey through ODWC-sanctioned drawings.
For 2025, hunters can boost their odds with a new feature: purchase an extra Preference Point for each hunt category. Building on last year’s elk and pronghorn option, this addition enhances your draw potential across all species.
Additionally, you can now add extra hunt choices beyond the standard limit in each category. These add-ons cost just $3 each, with no cap, giving you unmatched flexibility to customize your application.
Ready to apply? The deadline is May 20, 2025, so don’t delay in securing your spot for these top-tier hunting experiences.
