Our Mission

Our foundation's mission is to help provide youths with access to land, equipment, and mentors to get them involved with all aspects of hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation. We desire to encourage education about these less mainstream sports to inspire a lifelong hobby built around a supportive community. We want to grow passion around enjoying the outdoors, taking care of our natural habitats, encouraging gun safety and enriching education related to these activities.

Annual Youth Deer Hunt

Our main event is held during the Minnesota DNR Youth Deer Season; usually falling on MEA weekend in mid/late October. With this hunting event we select 20+ youth hunters and provide them access to land, deer stands, guns and an experienced adult mentor that has knowledge with hunting. This is a free to all participants.

Event Details

  • Register/Sign Up form link on Facebook page around Labor Day

  • Hunter selection lottery is held via Facebook Live in Late September

  • Selected youth hunter’s are split into two hunting groups;(Thursday/Friday & Saturday/Sunday)

  • Each youth hunter mentor is paired one on one with a experienced adult mentor; our mentors are family and friends that are well versed with the property and safety expectations

  • A practice shoot is held prior to the hunting weekend to get the youth hunter familiar with the guns we provide and and meet their mentor. Guardians are encouraged to attend and required to fill out a liability release form prior to practice.

  • Youth Hunter’s will attend their 2-Day Hunt group, hunt days include organized activities such as fishing and clay pigeon shooting to break up the day

  • All guns, ammo, hunting gear, food and transportation to hunting grounds are provided for free

  • On Saturday of the hunt we hold a public luncheon with lots of give-a-way prizes

Expanding Our Reach

We are looking forward to offering and promoting events beyond our annual Youth Deer Hunt. Expanding opportunities will help promote our mission to provide more Youth’s with access to a free “mentored” experience with other outdoor activities. We have given away guided fishing trips for four (with the requirement that at least two Youth’s are in attendance) including paid lodging and gas gift card. We hope to continue offering more of these family oriented opportunities.
