UA Cossatot provides lunch for deer hunters with disabilities

For the 15th year in a row, the University of Arkansas Cossatot provided lunch to the participants of the Disabled Youth Deer Hunt on the Jones Ranch near Mineral Springs, Ark.

The hunt is sponsored each year by the Southern Sportsmen Foundation in partnership with the Starch Creek Hunting Club. The Southern Sportsmen Foundation is a group of enthusiasts who share their love of the outdoors with people who have disabilities, including children and veterans.

"It is a true honor to be asked to participate in this deer hunt each year," UA Cossatot Chancellor Dr. Steve Cole stated in a press release. "To be part of the fellowship and the spirit of the event is so special, and UA Cossatot is always humbled by the importance of what this group is doing." Each year, this group raises funds to help provide exceptional outdoor activities for people who can be excluded from these kinds of experiences, which provide memories and enjoyment for a lifetime.

Each year during the hunt, UA Cossatot provides a grilled hamburger lunch to all of the hunters and the guides.
