ANNUAL DEER HUNT FOR DISABLED PERSONS


Mark Twain Lake

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, enthusiastic volunteer hunters, White-Tails Unlimited, and the Local Lions Club are planning the Annual Deer Hunt for disabled individuals which will be held at Mark Twain Lake.  The hunt will be held during the 2018 Missouri Rifle Deer season on Saturday, November 17 and Sunday, November 18 in the Indian Creek Recreation Area.  The hunt will be restricted to 35 permanently disabled (nonambulatory, semiambulatory) individuals having a valid 2018 Missouri firearms deer tag and a hunter safety certification card.

All hunters must comply with the 2018 Missouri Department of Conservation hunting regulations.  To insure a safe hunting experience, certain procedures will be in effect throughout the two day hunt.  Hunters will be required to hunt from and stay in the blinds while in the field.  Weapons are restricted to 20-gauge or larger slug shotguns, muzzle loader, crossbow, or bow and arrow. Participants must have Hunter Education.

Applications must be received on or before September 12, 2018 to qualify for the hunt. A drawing to select participants will be held on September 17, 2018 at 8 a.m. at the Mark Twain Lake Project Office.
