Springer-Peterson Takes Eleven Veterans Hunting

Rob Springer was a sponsor at a state event in which wounded soldiers were guided through a hunt in the Withlacoochee State Forest. Here is the awesome letter we got from Commissioner Adam Putnam: 


Dear Mr. Springer, 
I am sending you this letter in appreciation for your sponsorship of the Operation Outdoor Freedom event that occurred on the Withlacoochee State Forest on the weekend of November 18th thru the 20th. With your support eleven veterans wounded in combat were treated to a guided deer hunt. The event by all accounts went off without a hitch with eight of the hunters being able to harvest a deer. In all nine deer, six bucks and three does were harvested. Some of the hunters partaking in this event were first time hunters.
Please accept these photos of the hunters, guides and various support staff that helped make this weekend a success for our veterans. Without your support of this event none of this could have happened. Thanks again for being a part of this program.
Sincerely,
Adam H. Putnam
Commissioner of Agriculture
