Three Rivers is assisting to recruit hunters (disabled and or youth) for the September Assisted Hunt. Disabled persons seeking assisted hunt experience or youth 12 or older who might like to experience a hunt are eligible. Scholarships are available for deer tags, use of rifles, ammo, etc. Last year the assisted hunt had 22 youth and 8 disabled (14 were successful with a harvest). Harvested game is taken to the local lockers by assisted guides, and there is no fee for meat processing. Application deadlines are soon (first week in August). This is a great experience for first time hunters, disabled, and youth open to the experience. Click here for more info.
