Disabled-Accessible Waterfowl Reservations

Disabled-accessible waterfowl hunting blinds are available by reservation in most of Missouri's 15 intensively-managed waterfowl hunting areas.

ADA blinds can be applied for during the in-season draw.

Drawings will occur on Monday at 4:00 p.m. for hunts on the following week. Applicants can select one area per day for the application period. Successful applicants will be notified by email or text message at 8:00 p.m. following each drawing. The results will be available online at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday morning. There will be no limit to the number of times a hunter can apply each year, or the number of times a hunter can be drawn to hunt.

Important rules about accessible blind reservations

• You or your designee must present one of the following at check-in on the morning of the hunt:
  • a valid, state-issued hang-tag/placard from the Department of Revenue (DOR) for an ADA-eligible driver/occupant, OR
  • a Hunting Method Exemption (Part One Stationary Vehicle)
• Hunters may take up to three people with them during the hunt. Blinds will accommodate four people.
• If you were drawn for a disabled-accessible blind, you are not required to be present at the designated draw time. However, at least one member of your party is required to attend the draw, or the blind may be offered to another eligible party at the draw.
• A Daily Hunting Permit (green card) will be issued for all party members at the morning draw. These green cards must be returned at the end of the hunt.
• Party members registered to hunt a disabled-accessible blind are not eligible to participate in the daily draw procedure unless they first forfeit their disabled-accessible blind reservation.

Youth Use of Disabled-Accessible Blinds

Hunters with disabilities receive first preference for disabled-accessible blinds. However, if a blind has not been allocated in the pre-season drawing and is not claimed at the draw by a person with a disability (or a member of their party), the blind may be offered to any youth present. If more than one youth is present at the draw, all youths must participate in the draw, and low number has first choice of the blind. There will be no advance period for youth hunters under 16 years of age to reserve a disabled-accessible blind. Youth wishing to hunt from an unclaimed disabled-accessible blind must attend the morning draw.

Blinds in Refuge

Disabled-accessible blinds in a designated waterfowl refuge can only be allocated in the pre-season drawing or claimed at the morning draw by a person with a disability or member of their party. Disabled-accessible blinds in a designated waterfowl refuge will not be offered to youth hunters at the morning draw.

Blinds Not In Refuge

Disabled-accessible blinds not in a designated refuge may, at the discretion of area staff, be placed in the daily draw if not reserved by a person with a disability.
