Purpose, preparation, and open country
Supported hunts bring previously deployed Veterans together with experienced hosts for ethical field experiences grounded in connection, conservation, and shared effort.
Scouting, preparation, long days in the field, and meals at the end of them give a group something to do side by side.
Hosts set clear expectations on regulations, safety, equipment, and respect for the animal and the ground it lives on.
Field access, licensing, lodging, and shared equipment are organized with the host and confirmed with you first.
Veterans who have hunted
The lodging, Food, intel, guides, host, humor and companionship were all good. This event came at the right time for mental focus, clarity and a family break. Being able to see new states, get my first turkey, and learn from guides has helped me in my personal and professional life.
I am so grateful for this experience! I genuinely enjoyed being around so many strong and inspiring veterans. The hosts, Kelly, Forest, Dina, and Maru were so gracious and welcoming. I loved the home-cooked and family-style meals as well as the stimulating conversations. I really had such a great time.
Thank you for welcoming us into your beautiful space. You have been so welcoming and accommodating to our group. I felt like a family member instead of a guest. Your ranch is truly stunning, and I would recommend it to anyone!
Veteran hunting questions
Previously deployed Veterans may submit the Veteran application. Each hunt has its own capacity, location, dates, licensing needs, and physical considerations, so selection is made for the specific experience.
Each hunt is built around its host and location, with field access, licensing, lodging, meals, and shared equipment arranged ahead of time. What the hunt carries varies by event, and the team confirms exactly what is included, and anything you are responsible for, before you travel.
Requirements differ by hunt. Use the application to share your experience, equipment access, licensing status, and support needs. The team and host can then explain preparation and whether the event is a good fit.
Outfitters, guides, landowners, and volunteers help participants understand local rules, licensing, field safety, ethical harvest practices, and respect for the land and wildlife.
