Cowden Plantation, SCDNR offering deer hunts for veterans

Cowden Plantation and the SCDNR are teaming up once again to offer deer hunts to veterans in honor of Spc. Thomas Caughman, who was killed in Iraq in 2004.

Annual hunt is in honor of late Spc. Thomas Caughman

The S.C. Department of Natural Resources and Cowden Plantation near Jackson, S.C., are offering their thanks and appreciation to our military (active, retired, reserved, disabled) in memory of Spc. Thomas Caughman by hosting two free deer hunts on Nov. 30, 2018, and Dec. 14, 2018.

Successful applicants will have lunch before the hunt, as well as the opportunity to tour the Jarrett Rifles Gun Shop and Museum.

For those interested in attending one of the hunts, please fill out an application and e-mail it to SCDNR 1ST Sgt. Ben Thomas (thomasb@dnr.sc.gov). SCDNR is accepting the first 20 applications for each hunt until Oct. 30, 2018. Once the application is received, you will receive a confirmation email with further details about the hunt.

Spc. Caughman of Lexington, S.C., was killed in 2004 while serving during Operation Iraqi Freedom when his Humvee was struck by rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire in Baghdad.
