The St. Joseph (Michigan) Pheasants Forever will host its first Veterans Hunt Dec. 6 at the Willow Lake Sportsman’s Club on U.S. 131 north of Three Rivers.
Participating veterans will get a free hour, 3-bird hunt over dogs.
The event is open to hunters who pre-register and who bring with them proof of military service and a Hold Harmless Agreement. The event is open to veterans and not family members or friends.
A hunting license isn’t necessary but advanced registration is required with a $10 registration fee that will be refunded when you sign in to hunt.
You can register and get questions answered by calling Brett Johnson, 269-251-9894.
You are required to bring your own shotgun and shells (No. 6 shot recommended). If you don’t own a shotgun, discuss it with Johnson when you call and he may be able to arrange for a loaner.
The event is co-sponsored by American Legion posts in Colon, Constantine, Sturgis and Three Rivers.
