OWLT is no longer accepting applications for the 2012 hunting season. 

Most hunters are selected through a lottery system (no volunteering required), and some hunters are selected based upon their volunteer hours served...so come out and join us! Hunting season 2013 is just around the corner.

Click here to go to our volunteer application page. 

Selected hunters will be contacted by e-mail notification on or before September 10^th, 2013.

Those interested in hunting at multiple properties by gun and/or bow, make note of this on the application by listing all properties requested followed by “gun” or “bow”.  You will be included in the drawing for each property and type of hunting you list.

All applicants and selected hunters must sign an agreement to hunt in accordance with the OWLTs hunting policy and fill out a deer harvest report at the end of each season. Review OWLT's General Hunting Policy before filling out your application be sure you are in accordance with what is required.  Most notable in the policy is that no baiting or feeding of any kind is allowed, tree stands cannot be permanent, and each selected hunter is required to complete 10 volunteer hours at OWLT properties, finally all deer must be reported to the OWLT office within 3 days of harvest.

Thank you for your interest in hunting the OWLT Preserves.  Please do not hesitate to contact Stewardship Director Mike Hoffer at 262-338-1794 or  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  with any questions or comments.
