The U.S> Army Corps of Engineers, Milford State Park and the Geary County Sportsman Club are planning the 21st annual Assisted Deer Hunt at Milford Lake. This year’s hunt will be December 7-9, the second weekend of the regular firearms deer season. The hunt is limited to mobility-impaired people with permanent disabilities.

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

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

The hunt will be limited to 10 hunters. All 10 hunters can be accommodated for each day of the hunt, but 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 6th. This will allow time for the selection process and notification of successful applicants.
