2017 Law Enforcement Deer Hunt at Deux Cheneaux

The holiday season can be very busy for members of society working in law enforcement. Long hours during the Thanksgiving holiday can tax one’s spirit heading into the Christmas season. So the annual law enforcement appreciation hunt held the first weekend of December serves to provide a little rest and relaxation in the outdoors. A wide variety of federal, state and local people working throughout the justice system came to Deux Cheneaux Plantation in Green Pond to hunt, fish, eat and embrace some quality time on their day off.

The 2017 edition of the law enforcement appreciation deer hunt marks the fifth anniversary of this holiday tradition. Lori Bell partners with Allen and Susan Bell to provide the opportunity to deer hunt and to go fishing in a stocked pond. One member of the FBI that attended the hunt weekend said that the invitation to come to an outdoorsman’s paradise like this property in the ACE Basin is almost too good to be true.

A few of the attendees wanted to relay their message of thanks in an anonymous fashion due to work constraints. They said that people in law enforcement aren’t making a lot of money, and that having access to a hunting property like this one is a great opportunity for them. Especially for those that don’t have much experience in the outdoors, this event pools the resources of the group so that everyone benefits. Some know more about hunting, some know more about fishing, and some come simply to eat and relax, but at its core it is a non-work event with a focus on raising spirits among the law enforcement family.
