2. Mission and Vision
Hunting with Veterans conserves, restores, and
manages habitat for wildlife conservation in order
to give disabled veterans a location to enjoy the
outdoors.
The vision of Hunting with Veterans is to help
disabled veterans return to the great outdoors in
order to help in the healing process regardless of the
severity of injury.
3. Why Hunting with
Veterans
In the state of Virginia hunting public hunting land is
hard to come by and often requires mountains of
paperwork and licenses to be purchased in order to hunt.
The majority of disabled veterans do not have the time
nor the resources available to them to effectively hunt
these areas.
Hunting with Veterans will ensure disabled veterans of
the United States Military have a safe place to hunt and
get back to a normal state of mind placing their
disabilities far behind them to help in their recovery
process.
4. Goals
