Back in September, Ronnie Zesch and Ronnie and Gary Johnson hosted thirty nine veterans out at Grossville for the annual Mason County Dove Hunt. As usual, great food, great fun, not as many dove as last year, but a great hunt as well.
Operation Orphans, Inc. enjoyed successful youth hunts October 29, November 19 and December 3. Results from the three hunts had 136 boys and girls harvesting 213 animals. The final hunt of the 2016 season will take place January 7.
