Lake Shelbyville Disabled Deer Hunt Volunteers Needed
Lake Shelbyville- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Lake Volunteers Association at Lake Shelbyville will hold the 26th Annual Deer Hunt for People with Disabilities on November 20, 21 and 22, 2015. Volunteers are needed to help with the hunt. Volunteers will assist in helping hunters get to and from blinds, tracking, field dressing, dragging deer out of the woods and helping around deer camp. We are also looking for a couple volunteers in the mornings and evenings to help set up food, make coffee and clean up after meals. A hunter/volunteer orientation and dinner will be held on the 19th of November. Volunteer support is crucial to the success of this event, and with the communities help people with disabilities have the opportunity to get out and enjoy the outdoors.
