Corps will allow 14 to hunt Slough Creek

by Davis Publications staff

Applications are being taken for a chance for youth to hunt deer in the Slough Creek Park area of Perry Lake.

The Corps of Engineers will conduct a drawing and award 14 permits to allow hunting in the area Dec. 8 and 9. This is the fifth annual youth firearms deer hunt in the area.

Applicants must be between 12 and 15 years old, a Kansas resident, have an adult sponsor 21 years old or older, and have all the required permits and licenses.

The youth and the sponsor must also attend a meeting prior to the hunt. Applicants must supply their own hunting equipment, but blinds will be provided.

For an application and information, contact Park Ranger Matt Beckman at the Corps office, (785) 597-5144, prior to Nov. 29.
