I am a disabled veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom and have always dreamed of hunting elk. I am posting this to see if anyone would know of any elk hunts free to disabled vets. Thanks, Joshua

Veteran Hunts
by: Anonymous

If you're a veteran and you by chance live in Idaho, you can get ahold of the facebook group Idaho Backcountry Veterans. They have been taking vets out on hunts and have good success. They are completely non-profit.

by: Wayne M. Lau

Check out OutdoorBuddies , Colorado.. They do Great Hunts and you just pay Room & Board, and License and get there, they do the rest.. A Wonderful Organization..
Elk , Deer, Antilope, and fishing...
I'm always looking for a place to Elk Hunt, I'm in a wheelchair, a Para, and been looking for years for a Private Ranch that would let me hunt without paying the High prices everyone else wants..Has to be accessible for either my ATV or truck...I've tried myself for years with Bow & Arrow, it's not an easy hunt and I'm now 63 and can't handle the Hard Knocks and bumps..
I'm also On a Fixed income and can't handle the thousands of Dollars..Pluss I have to talk my wife into spending time without me while on this type of hunt..LOL
Hopefully some year I will get a call to such a place...and fill one of my Top Dreams..

Check with your VA Medical Center's Recreational Department. They can put you in touch with other VA's whose recreation department staff take veterans on hunting trips.

various hunts
by: Scott Hoover

I would be willing to help any wounded veteran with hunting opportunities. Being a veteran myself, I have 2 leases in Texas (whitetail, turkey, and hogs) and I hunt elk in Colorado, birds, mule deer, turkey, javelina and elk in New Mexico (New Mexico is a draw state for large game). If anyone knows a wounded veteran that would like to hunt any of these areas please contact me (575)408-4578

Joshua Elk Hunt Montana
by: Bob

You can contact me at harleyman59873@gmail.com. I live in Montana 59873. I would be willing to take you with me on one of my elk hunts.

I Bow hunt and rifle hunt. I'm not a guide.
but I would need to know your limitations on how you would like to hunt. Bow season is usually best. Hunting from a vehicle can be done. Just remember that only 1% of hunters get a big bull.

Where are you from and how would you get here? I'm a Vietnam veteran and did 20 years US Navy.
Contact me at the above email and we will talk about a hunting trip for you.

I'll look into it for here in Sun Valley
by: Idaho Steve

I will look into it here in the Sun Valley area. Great elk hunting and I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of a program or sponsorship. We bring in dozens of wounded vets to ski at Sun Valley every year... seems like a similar program could be developed for wounded vets.

D/I Vets Elk
by: Ozzie72-75

I think you must be a resident for free hunts in most states for handicap hunting blinds and stands. So, I too will learn the answer from someone who knows for sure. Great Question and thanks for your service. I too enlisted in 3/1972 and am disabled today.

Here's the Facebook page of one group, Joshua: Freedom Hunters and Honored American Veterans Afield.

Let us know if you find anything else. I'd love for this site to be a clearing house for hunts for wounded warriors. Thanks for serving.
