In order to participate in the awarded waterfowl hunt, applicants must first submit an electronic Notice of Intent (NOI) by the designated deadline to the specific area.

They will see a "Complete Form" button next to the Waterfowl Blind Reservation Quota Hunt Award. If participants do not confirm their hunt by the deadline date, ther reservation will be cancelled.

For information on obtaining NOI deadlines, detailed maps, GPS coordinates, and rules and regulations for the hunt, visit http://tn.gov/twra/article/waterfowl-hunting. The WMAs that had a computerized drawing for waterfowl hunts were Bogota, Gooch Unit E, White Oak-Lebanon Pond, Meeman-Shelby Forest, Thorny Cypress in West Tennessee and Candies Creek, Johnson Bottoms, Rogers Creek, and Yellow Creek units on Chickamauga WMA in East Tennessee. For the statewide sandhill crane hunt, 637 applicants had the opportunity to be drawn and receive two tags.
