Peterson Outdoors Wounded Warrior Deer Hunt

A MCHF Missouri Department of Conservation Partnership Grant will help fund this event, which is sponsored by a non-for-profit organization called Peterson Outdoors. The event will allow U.S. soldiers who have been wounded in combat in Iraq, Afghanistan and Viet Nam to participate in a special deer hunt on private land in Barton and Jasper Counties. Funding will help cover the cost of food and supplies and the cost of 14 ground blinds for the disabled hunters. Last year 6 hunters participated in the event and ten to twelve soldiers are expected for the 2010 event.
