MDC hosts mobility-impaired deer hunt Oct. 10-11 at Bois D’Arc Conservation Area

ASH GROVE, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will hold a muzzleloader firearms deer hunt for mobility-impaired hunters Oct. 10-11 at Bois D’Arc Conservation Area in Greene County.

During these two days, the Bois D’Arc Conservation Area will close to all other hunting and recreational activities to ensure safety and help participants in this special hunting event have the best chances of success.

MDC’s Andy Dalton Shooting Range and Outdoor Education Center, which is located within the Bois D’Arc Conservation Area, will be open for regular use during normal hours, 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday-Sunday.

The Oct. 10-11 accessible hunt is a cooperative effort between MDC and the National Wild Turkey Federation’s Sho-Me Chapter. This hunt will provide appropriate access, hunting blinds and other resources to individuals capable of using a firearm, but whose abilities to use most hunting areas are restricted.

MDC’s 3,172-acre Bois D’Arc Conservation Area will reopen to public use Oct. 12.
