March 2019 Newsletter

Help Needed

 

All hunters that would like to be in the drawing for any of the 2019 hunts will need to fill out a new application for each desired hunt on the website.

Turkey season is right around the corner and before you know it, deer season will be knocking at the door.  If you know of any youth, disable individual or  veteran who would like to experience the outdoors again or for the first time; go to the website and fill out an application. Lets get the word out. We need to tell all of our friends and have them tell their friends.

Volunteer Highlight

Chad Kerley is one of HOAS's volunteers. Most of you wouldn't know how much he helps with HOAS because he's that kind of guy; always putting others first.

You could say that Chad took the bull by the horns when took ownership of the 1st Annual Squirrel Hunt 2/16. We cannot thank him enough for all he has done for this organization.
