The Disabled & Veterans Hunt is limited to 40 hunters, each of whom will be able to shoot three of the long-tailed, ring-necked birds. The hunt is open to veterans of all ages and also those who require the use of a wheelchair. They must possess a valid California hunting license and an upland game stamp.
There is no cost to shoot. Hunters will be treated to lunch. The hunter who shoots the bird with the longest tail feather will also receive a prize.
At least 100 pheasants will be released that day. Check-in will take place at 7:00 a.m., and hunters should bring their own firearms and shells.
The STCSA Veteran's Hunt was inspired by Bill Moench’s cousin, Rich Riethmayer, who served in Vietnam and requires the use of a wheelchair, to launch the Disabled & Veterans Hunt.
One Thanksgiving a few years ago, he and a few others took Riethmayer to the Lake Success Wildlife Area to see if the terrain would be conducive to hunters in wheelchairs.
It was, and the Disabled & Veterans Hunt event was born.
Moench’s desire was “to offer those people in wheelchairs and veterans an opportunity to hunt that they might not otherwise have had.”
Volunteers will again be on hand this year to assist with pushing wheelchairs and handing out water bottles if that assistance is desired.
To reserve a spot in this hunt, please follow the link below to register. If you have a disability please include it along with any assistive technology.
