Hunters will find habitat boxes at the Loons Nest, The Outdoorsman’s Headquarters and the Y at Highway 11/71 junction. To participates hides may de dropped off at one of these locations. Last year, the local chapter collected more than 250 hides that were sold for the chapter  by the state chapter to the highest bidder. It raised $1,000 for the Trails End Chapter. Across the state, about 30,000 hides were collected grossing more than $200,000 for habitat projects. All funds raised locally are spent locally along with a match by the state chapter.
