Whitetail Warrior Project

Bob Bowden on December 1, 2023

Organizing outdoor events for Veterans can provide them with opportunities for camaraderie,
support and engagement with nature. Outdoor activities have been shown to have numerous
physical, mental and emotional benefits, making them especially valuable for Veterans who
may be dealing with the challenges of transitioning to civilian life or coping with service-related
issues.
By creating a space where veterans can come together and participate in various outdoor
activities, we’re not only fostering a sense of community but also promoting overall well-being.
Whether it’s organizing hikes, camping trips, fishing outings, hunting opportunities, team sports,
or other outdoor adventures, these events can provide Veterans with a sense of purpose,
connection, and a chance to build lasting friendships with fellow Veterans who understand their
experiences.
Additionally, participating in outdoor activities can promote physical fitness, which is crucial for
maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Being in nature has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and
depression, and can contribute to improved mental health and a sense of peace.

Overall, our efforts to bring Veterans together through outdoor events can make a significant
positive impact on their lives. By fostering a supportive community and providing opportunities
for outdoor recreation, we’re helping Veterans enhance their well-being, build connections, and
create lasting memories.

Women of the Wild

As Mother’s, daughters, sisters or just friends we all deserve to find our passion. Many times females in the outdoors are left on the sidelines.

Hickory Hills Veterans Lodge

Bob Bowden on November 12, 2023

At Hickory Hills Veterans lodge our goal is to give a helping hand up to our veterans in need, using a multiple of the empowering programs, established and used over many years. Our self-help programs prove to be beneficial with helping restore lost confidence, self-esteem and self-reliance just to name a few.

Veterans can enjoy fishing at several area lakes, or ATV rides. In the springtime there are managed turkey hunts with some of the greenest explosion of color and beauty found anywhere. There is little to match the exhilaration of an adult Tom turkey sounding his morning gobble during the crisp spring morning. Trying to match wits with these birds can be quite the experience. In the afternoons there is spring wild edible mushroom hunting, usually followed up with fishing, and later maybe a cook-out. These types of outdoor activities are shared and enjoyed with other seasoned veterans and are an integral part of the team building and support structure, offered to the veteran receiving the benefits of Hickory Hills Veterans Lodge.

Our veterans, and brave men and women in uniform need and deserve this help and support structure in their lives. Please help us, to help them, with a generous donation to Hickory Hills Veterans lodge. Thank You for your support!
