The Nevada Department of Wildlife is accepting applications for waterfowl hunt reservations from those wishing to hunt during the first two days of the earliest opening duck and goose seasons at the Overton Wildlife Management Area (OWMA). These reservation hunts will take place Oct. 30 and Nov. 2 at the OWMA.
Hunters must complete and submit an official paper application that is available online at www.ndow.org or at the NDOW Las Vegas office at 3373 Pepper Lane.
Completed applications must be delivered through a postal service to the NDOW Headquarters Office, Attn: Habitat Division, 6980 Sierra Center Parkway, Suite 120 in Reno. They are due no later than 5 p.m. on Sept. 8.
A public drawing will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Sept. 29 at the same address. Successful applicants will receive their reservation confirmation by return mail.
NDOW will begin taking reservations for the remainder of the waterfowl hunting season at the OWMA on the Monday prior to opening day. Those reservations can be made via telephone from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The number is 855-542-6369.
All reservations, including those acquired through the mail-in application process, must be used prior to reserving another hunt day.
