The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Milford State Park, and the Geary County Sportsman Club are planning the Nineteenth Annual Assisted Deer Hunt at Milford Lake. This year’s hunt is scheduled for the 9th, 10th, and 11th of December, which is the second weekend of the regular firearms deer season. This hunt is limited to mobility-impaired persons with permanent disabilities.

Individuals confined to wheelchairs will be given priority in the selection process.

The goal of this hunt is to provide physically challenged persons the opportunity to participate in the sport of deer hunting, and thereby, to help control the ever-increasing deer population in the park areas.

The hunt will be limited to ten hunters. We can accommodate all ten hunters for each day of the hunt. Should applicants exceed hunter capacity; a random selection process will be implemented.

Those interested in receiving an application form for the Assisted Deer Hunt should contact the Milford Lake Corps of Engineers Project office at 785-238-5714 and dial “0” for assistance. Applications should be completed and received by November 1st. This will allow time for the selection process and notification of successful applicants.
