Camaraderie is the medicine. The outdoors is the setting.
The Big South Fork Veteran Hunt is a non-profit organization headquartered in Strunk, Kentucky, near the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. Founded in 2017 by Ricky Allen, we provide guided outdoor trips for combat veterans — at no cost, ever.
Our focus is veterans living with PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury, and other service-connected disabilities. What happens on these trips is simple and old-fashioned: a truck ride before daylight, a stand overlooking a hollow, a fire, a shared meal, and people who don’t need the story explained to them.
Every trip is guided by volunteers who know this country — the ridges, the river, and the deer that live in it.
