Controlled hunt results available on Wednesday

Hunters who applied for any of the 2009-2010 controlled hunts in the state can find out if they were selected for any hunts on Wednesday (July 8).
The results will be available by 8 a.m. on the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation’s Web site, www.wildlifedepartment.com.
The state Wildlife Department offers 140 different controlled hunts, most of them on government-owned managed lands.
Hunters pay $5 to apply for as many hunts as they want. Winners are selected through a random drawing.
The most sought-after hunts are the bull elk gun hunts on the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.
That is followed by deer buck gun hunts on the refuge, then the archery deer hunts at the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant.
