Hunters with hogs Operation Outdoor Freedom, led by the Florida Forest Service, hosted a Special Refuge Wild Hog Hunt on the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge in Dixie County on January 18-21st. This event provided recreational and rehabilitative opportunities to wounded veterans throughout Florida. Participation in the Operation Outdoor Freedom Program requires veterans to either have a service-connected disability rating of 30 percent or greater from the United States Department of Veteran Affairs, or be a Purple Heart recipient. There were three participants in this year's guided event. All the hunters were successful, with a total of 5 hogs taken. The Refuge is grateful to be a part of Operation Outdoor Freedom, and thankful for the Florida Forest Service staff, guides, and others that make this event successful each year.
