Among all the duck-hunting haunts up and down the Mississippi Flyway, a spot in the middle of a water-filled woods just south of Tunica, Miss., between the Mississippi and Coldwater rivers provides wingshooters with a glimpse of Southern tradition. This is Beaver Dam Lake, made famous not only by its fabulous fowling but by one of the South’s prominent sporting scribes, Nash Buckingham.
The Yellow Ribbon Fund hosts a hunting trip specifically for caregivers of wounded, ill or injured military service members receiving medical care, providing a brief time away from daily caregiving tasks, an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and fellowship with peers.
