Guided support throughout your experience

🏞️ Our Locations & Focus

We are not an outfitter. We fish public lakes like Rend Lake and Lake Evergreen, and hunt on private land. While we have amazing fishing and hunting opportunities, the real value is making new friends, relaxing, and creating a network of fellow veterans and supporters. Being in nature encourages mental, physical, and spiritual wellness. Great friendships and lifelong bonds have been forged on our events—something about being outdoors around a campfire, in a boat, or in a deer stand brings out the best in all of us.

♿ Accessibility & Support

We have a wide range of special hunting equipment and can accommodate just about any injury or disability. We will work with selected participants before an event to ensure your experience is fun, safe, and successful.
