The main drawing for Upper Mississippi Conservation Area waterfowl blinds will be held every other year, on even years. The drawing is composed of four phases.

1. During the Applicant Registration, applicants register to be entered into the draw, and select their preferred blinds.
2. The random Drawing is performed, and successful applicants are notified by email.
3. During the Co-registrant Selection, successful applicants may select up to three hunters (co-registrants) to occupy the blind site with them.
4. If any blinds are relinquished, a Reallocation Drawing will be held to reassign those blind sites.

The 2024 drawing will be the last drawing for Upper Mississippi Conservation Waterfowl sites. There will not be a redraw in 2025.
