Missouri Hosting Hunting Clinic for Terminally Ill Youth

The Missouri Department of Conservation wants to go the extra mile to make sure that youth that want to learn to hunt have that chance especially if they suffer from a chronic or terminal illness. They have a hunting clinic that will be happening this October.

The Missouri Department of Conservation shared the news of this good-hearted event coming up in Unionville on October 29 on their official website. Here are some of the details they provided in their press release:

The clinic will take place 3:30–8:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 29, at the Rest Inn Him Lodge and Retreat Center in Unionville.
