Wood Duck Box Program applications open

Posted

PRESS RELEASE - Wood duck box applications are now being accepted for the SCDNR 2022 Wood Duck Box Program.

The process looks a little different this year- the application is under “Lottery Hunts” within Go Outdoors SC.

Applications are no longer taken on a first come, first served basis. The successful applications will be selected by randomized computer drawing after the application period is over.

Applicants must have or create an account through Go Outdoors SC online

Random selection, NOT based on preference points or when you applied

Must be SC resident & at least 18 years old to apply

Up to 3 boxes can be requested (1200 available for distribution)

Odds of selection based on total number of applicants

Applicants will be notified by email whether or not they were selected

The deadline to apply is Nov. 5 by 5PM. To apply, visit: Go Outdoors SC (You may have to create a free customer account to apply if you have never had a hunting or fishing license or boat registered in South Carolina.)

You may apply for up to three (3) wood duck boxes, though SCDNR reserves the right to reduce this number at its discretion. There is no cost for the duck boxes. The duck boxes will come with the predator guard, you must supply the post and mounting hardware (available at a local hardware store).
