Most project land is open to hunting in accordance with federal, state, and local laws, with the exception of developed parks, the project administration area, land leased to the Boy Scouts of America, the Lindon Q. Skidmore Wetland Management Area, and other designated refuge areas. This diversity of land types creates a variety of wildlife habitat. Waterfowl hunters can take advantage of several marshes located on the project. Contact the Truman Project for marsh locations. Most hunting accidents occur because of improper gun handling.
Hunters swinging on game and hunters mistaken for game are two common accidents.
The wearing of blaze orange and hunter education training can reduce the chances of being involved in an accident. The Corps of Engineers issues seasonal duck blind permits for the construction and placement of blinds east of Highway 13. Blinds west of 13 Highway must be removed from the project daily. Blind sites are issued on a lottery basis. Participants must have all licenses and stamps to hunt waterfowl in their possession at the time of the drawing.
