A portion of the Odessa
Wildlife Management Area is designated as a controlled hunting area.
Staked hunting sites are established at the Area and hunters must draw
for their pick of sites. Daily permits are required to hunt during
the waterfowl season. Hunters receive their permits at the check
station and are required to check their bag at the check station before
leaving the area. Drawings are held approximately 90 minutes before
shooting time for the purpose of selecting blinds or stake sites.
Note!! Controlled hunting will not be in effect at Odessa
during the early September duck season, but will function as normal beginning in
October.
Note!! Controlled hunting opportunities
will no longer take place at Riverton. In addition, the size of the
refuge at Riverton has been increased.
For information about Odessa's hunting opportunities, contact (319) 523-8319.
