The Ozark National Scenic Riverways has announced plans to host two managed deer hunts at Big Spring this fall. The hunts are designed to provide special opportunities for two distinct groups – youth and mobility-impaired veterans. The events are part of an initiative to encourage these groups to engage in outdoor activities and foster a love for nature and wildlife.
The first hunt is exclusively for young hunters, aiming to inspire a new generation of wildlife enthusiasts. This event will introduce them to the sport in a controlled and safe environment. The second hunt is dedicated to mobility-impaired veterans, offering them a chance to participate in the outdoor activity and enjoy the natural beauty of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways.
These hunts are part of the National Park Service’s broader commitment to inclusivity and accessibility. They aim to provide opportunities for all individuals to experience the outdoors, regardless of their age or physical capabilities. Further details about the hunts, including registration information, can be found on the National Park Service’s website.
