The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Vicksburg District announces that Arkabutla Lake will hold its annual Physically Challenged Deer Hunt this December.
This is the 31st year for the annual draw hunt. Applications have traditionally been limited to persons that are quadriplegic, paraplegic, or ambulatory with the use of leg braces or crutches. However, this year permanently disabled veterans will also be allowed to apply.
There will be two hunts, each lasting three days. The first hunt will be December 3rd, 4th, and 5th. The second hunt will be held December 10th, 11th, and 12th.
The deadline to submit applications is November 5th at 3 p.m. Applicants will be notified the second week of November if they have been selected for either hunt.
