Smithville Lake Disabled Deer & Turkey Hunting Blinds

MCHF Partnership Grant. The Smithville Lake disabled managed deer hunt is held each year during the last weekend of the fall firearms deer season. Last year, 75 disabled hunters applied for 63 blinds around Smithville Lake. Hunters who were not initially drawn often have a chance to hunt the second day. The hunt is designed to provide a deer hunting opportunity for persons with a permanent disability. In addition, two youth hunts, spring turkey and fall deer, are held annually at Smithville Lake. Funding will help cover the cost fo fiberglass hunting blinds.
