What is OLAP Limited Access?
- This category limits the daily amount of hunters on specific OLAP Walk-in Hunting Areas.
- Hunters apply to reserve a daily permit from the following time blocks:
- Mon - Thu (drawing/selection on preceding Friday)
- Fri - Sun (drawing/selection on preceding Tuesday)
What are the rules?
- The rules are the same as the public "white sign" OLAP Walk-in Archery/Shotgun Only areas, with the exception that access is limited.
- For the 2022-2023 season, all Limited Access areas are archery/shotgun only.
- Click here to review OLAP regulations.
- Hunters may legally harvest any desired game (waterfowl, deer, squirrels, etc.) with the legal means of take:
- Archery
- Shotgun (no shot size larger than T shot, no slugs)
- The only exception is that elk harvest is prohibited on all OLAP.
How do I apply?

Can I bring a guest?
- Drawn hunters can bring 1 guest.
- During the application process, fill in the guest's name and customer ID.
- Due to limited parking, the guest must arrive in the applicant's vehicle. Parking may be very limited at these walk-in hunting areas and may not be able to accommodate two vehicles.
What is the draw and notification process?
- All applicants are assigned a number. A random number generator selects the successful applicant.
- For the Mon - Thu reservations, the drawing will occur at noon on the preceding Friday.
- For the Fri - Sun reservations, the drawing will occur at noon on the preceding Tuesday.
-
Selected applicants will be notified via email. The Game Warden for the county will also be CC'ed.
- The drawing for the Oct. 7-9 time block will occur on Wednesday, Oct. 5, at noon due to short notice. All subsequent drawings will follow the aforementioned schedule.
When you arrive at the walk-in hunting area:
- All Limited Access tracts have specific parking areas (check the map).
- These parking areas have check-in boxes.
- In these check-in boxes are perforated cards.
- Fill out the card and deposit the top half into the check-in box.
- Place the bottom half on your vehicle's dash.
- Fill out a new card for each day you visit within your reserved time block.
Enjoy and good luck!

Remember to click on walk-in areas to bring up more information, including access types, dates, habitat information, specific comments/instructions, and photos. This function is available when accessing maps on a computer or via the mobile app (Explorer for ArcGIS).
|
Review the maps before entering the walk-in area. Get a good feel for the property boundaries, topography, changes in land use (farming or ranching), etc.
Boundaries may consist of a change from grassland to agriculture, a mowed strip, etc. Some walk-in areas may not have fences for OLAP boundary signs, and it's the responsibility of hunters to know their location and the walk-in area's boundaries.
Use the free ArcGIS Explorer App to bring the OLAP Walk-in Areas to your mobile device (data signal required). Once the app is installed on your device, search the Maps for "OLAP" and select "ODWC OLAP Web Map 2021-2022".
