SMITHVILLE, Mo. - Kevin Bratten watched a buck with large antlers moving through the brush near his hunting blind at Smithville Lake. So he adjusted his position in his wheelchair, aimed his 7mm magnum rifle and fired. A lifetime trophy was his on Nov. 17, courtesy of a community partnership that made the lake’s 23rd annual disabled-hunter event possible.
“That’s the biggest buck I’ve ever killed,” said Bratten, 47, of rural Platte City. “I was trained in the Marines as a sniper, so I wasn’t going to let him get away.”

Conservation makes Missouri a great place to hunt and fish.
