MOBILE, Ala. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Mobile District, is scheduled to host the fourth annual archery-only deer hunt for disabled hunters and wounded warriors at the Allatoona Lake Project Management Office, Dec. 4-5, 2017.
The annual deer hunt provides outdoor recreation opportunities for individuals who have a permanent physical condition that severely impairs their mobility and as a way to give back to our Nation’s wounded warriors.
