Hunting & Recreation

  Waterfowl hunting is the main focus at Ozotiowe. However, members and their guests also have an opportunity to pursue snipe, doves, small furbearers, deer, and bear. 

Hunting Access

          Access to Ozotiowe's north and south side hunting units is available from Phillips County gravel roads and cooperative farmers' fields (with permission). Elevated trails are mowed into the pond levees to allow for ATV/UTV/foot access when the levees are not saturated and/or underwater. During periods of high water, boats must be used by members for access.

Pond Layout

          North side of Big Creek: Ponds 1-3 are located in moist soil units filled with well water. Pond 6 is located inside the banks of Big Creek and offers huntable water during flood events. Pond 7 is located on the extreme NE side of Ozotiowe and is huntable during flood events. 

           South side of Big Creek: Pond 4 is a classic timber hole, huntable during flood events. Pond 5 is a moist soil pond filled with water pumped out of Big Creek.
