Waterfowl hunters will be out in droves the next two weekends, but none of them will be shooting at ducks. Instead, they will be gathering to enter drawings for duck blind permits at various lakes across the state.

Permanent (season-long) duck blinds are allowed on five U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lakes. Drawings for permits at all five of the lakes will be Saturday, Sept. 17. Drawings for blind sites at Lake Overholser/Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge and Lake Stanley Draper in Oklahoma City will be held Saturday, Sept. 10.

Duck season in Oklahoma will open Oct. 15 in the Panhandle counties, Oct. 29 in Zone 1 (northwestern areas), and Nov. 5 in Zone 2 (southern and eastern areas). The split season will close from Nov. 27 to Dec. 10 in Zones 1 and 2, then reopen Dec. 11 for the remainder of the season in those zones.

Applicants for permanent blind permits must be at least 16 years old and possess all valid hunting licenses, signed stamps and permits as required for hunting waterfowl during the waterfowl season, unless exempt. Additionally, applicants need a valid Harvest Information Program (HIP) permit. Applicants must be present at the drawings to be eligible.

Waterfowl hunting blinds built on Corps of Engineers and Bureau of Reclamation reservoirs are classified in two categories: temporary blinds (constructed for only one hunt and removed at the end of the hunt) and permanent blinds (constructed for seasonal use). No permit is required for temporary blinds.

Lakes where temporary duck blinds are allowed, along with other details about duck blind use, are listed in the Oklahoma Hunting & Fishing Regulations Guide, which is available online at wildlifedepartment.com or in print from license vendors across the state.
