Permits are $3 for 24 hours or $12.50 or one year.

Duck Blind Drawings

  • Hunters must be 18 years old or older to participate in blind site drawing.
  • An annual hunting permit is required to participate in the drawing. Permits can be purchased in advance from authorized vendors or on site at the Lake Draper Marina. Permit purchases are final and no refunds can be issued.
