Bereaved Couples Hunt - Jardine, MT: Hunting trip for four (4) couples who had each lost a child to a sudden and traumatic death within a recent time frame. The trip was designed to facilitate bonding among the couples and reinforce the healing process for each couple regarding their loss. In addition to hunting, there was quiet time for reflection, group discussions, counseling, and other fun-filled adventures.
Maine Veteran Bear Hunt: The organization took two Vietnam Veterans, who are suffering from cancer, to Maine to hunt for black bear and engage in other outdoor related activities such as canoeing and clay target shooting.
Mick Albers Elk Hunt: Mick Albers has been disabled and confined to a wheelchair since a child due to complications from polio. He has always had a desire to hunt, but due to his disabilities was not able to do so without many accommodations. The organization took Mick and his caretaker on a hunt to Cayuse Hills, MT, where he was able to use the organization's track chair and other special equipment to hunt for elk and mule deer.
