Dexter, Missouri - Braving the weather, these Veterans of Dexter VFW Post 2659, had a lot of enjoyment shooting down some “terrorist ducks” at Otter Slough on December 12, 2015.
The ducks fought back, but as they were on active duty, these Veteran warriors won the day.
A breakfast was served after the hunt of pancakes, bacon, coffee, sausage and eggs.
All veterans are invited to participate and to join the VFW. Contact David Vaughn at 270-205-8207.
