Deer hunt for wheelchair hunters at Carters Lake in November

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Carters Lake and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources are sponsoring a deer hunt for wheelchair hunters on the Coosawattee Wildlife Management Area. The hunt at Carters Lake will be Nov. 7-9.

The hunt will provide outdoorsmen with disabilities an opportunity to go hunting in areas where barriers and competition are minimized. The hunt is limited to wheelchair hunters. Every effort is made to make the hunt a success for all the participants.

The Corps opens all the gates to wildlife food plots and some parks to ensure easy access for ATVs, wheelchairs and special equipment needed by the hunters. Rangers and DNR personnel will be on hand to provide assistance to hunters.

The pre-hunt check-in will be Nov. 6 at noon at the DNR check-in station off Old Highway 411 on Powerhouse Road in Murray County. Campsites are available to hunters who wish to camp. Sites have electric and water hookups

For more information, call Paul Molla at Carters Lake at (706) 334-2248.
