Those hunters interested in participating in the waterfowl blind drawing must be at least 18 years of age and possess a valid 2008-2009 Kentucky hunting license, a Kentucky waterfowl permit and a Federal migratory bird permit (duck stamp) at the time of the drawing.
The waterfowl blind drawing for Doug Travis WMA (formerly Westvaco WMA) in Carlisle and Hickman counties will be Saturday, Aug. 30, at Doug Travis WMA office, located a half mile south of Berkley on KY 123. Registration occurs at 9 a.m. Central time with the drawing at 10 a.m.
The Lake Barkley WMA waterfowl blind drawing will be 8 a.m. Central time Monday, Sept. 15. The drawing is being held at the Lake Barkley Corps of Engineers office, located at Barkley dam off U.S. 62 near Lake City.
The Green River Lake WMA waterfowl blind drawing will be Saturday, Sept. 27, at the Green River Lake Corps of Engineers office. The office is located off KY 55 approximately seven miles south of Campbellsville. Registration is 9 a.m. Eastern time with the drawing at 10 a.m.

Hunters drawn for blinds on Lake Barkley, Green River, Barren River Lake or Sloughs WMAs are responsible for locating, preparing and maintaining the blind site for the duration of the 2008-2009 waterfowl seasons. Each drawn hunter may select a co-owner of the blind site for use in the absence of the hunter drawn. The co-owner must be present at the drawing.
Hunters may construct a permanent blind or use a boat or portable blind, but each blind site must be permanently pinned with a permanent marker identifying permit holders for the site. Those hunters selected hold first rights for use of the blind site, but these blinds sites open to public use if the selected hunters are not in the blinds by 30 minutes before shooting time.
The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources manages, regulates, enforces and promotes responsible use of all fish and wildlife species, their habitats, public wildlife areas and waterways for the benefit of those resources and for public enjoyment.
