Hunters wishing to reserve a goose hunting station in the controlled hunting zone at Lac qui Parle wildlife management area are reminded to submit their application postmarked between Aug. 24 and Sept. 16. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will be accepting applications on a first come, first-served basis.
Proposed goose season dates at Lac qui Parle will be Thursday, Oct. 15, through Tuesday, Nov. 3, or until a harvest index of 10,000 Canada geese is reached. The goose season will be shorter this year, therefore the later opening date is scheduled to better coincide with goose migrations in recent years, while still providing hunting during the annual teachers' convention weekend.
Hunters must apply on a standard 3 1/2-by-5 1/2 inch postcard bearing the applicant's full name and address, and listing first, second and third choices of dates. Applicants should indicate whether they will accept an alternate date if none of their choices is available. Only one postcard per hunter may be submitted. Those submitting more than one application will have all of their applications rejected. Applications should be sent to: Controlled Hunt, Lac qui Parle Wildlife Management Area, 14047 - 20th St. N.W., Watson, MN 56295.
Successful Lac qui Parle applicants will receive reservations by mail designating the date of their hunt. Only successful applicants will be notified. Goose hunting stations will be assigned through a drawing held on the morning of the hunt. Reservation holders may be accompanied by one or two guests. However, persons participating in the reservation drawing will be limited to three trips either as guests or as successful applicants. There is no limit to the number of times hunters may participate in the stand-by drawings.
All hunters using hunting stations in the Lac qui Parle controlled hunt zone who are 18 years of age or older will be charged a $3 fee on the day of their hunt to partially cover controlled hunt special expenses. The reservation system will be in effect for the entire goose season. For more information, call the Lac qui Parle headquarters at (320) 734-4451.
