What’s a Wounded Warrior?

• Wounded Warrior Project: Served on Active Duty on/after September 11, 2001 and was Honorably Discharged with a Veterans Affairs disability rating of xx% or higher.

• Warrior Hunts: The WWP definition, PLUS one of the three following: Purple Heart recipient, Combat Veteran or Special Operator

Warrior Hunts’ version of, “Thank you for your Service”

• Nature and the presence of other Warriors are the two combining forces here….the hunting/fishing and Outdoorsman experience is actually a by-product of just getting these Heroes out of the house. Cost Free and Stress Free, hosting Families versus individuals works, no matter the venue. (hunting/fishing/camping/riding/etc)
