Guns Up! Combat Veteran Hunts

Donate

Put a veteran in the blind.

Your gift covers everything a combat veteran needs for a morning in the Pacific Flyway — and keeps their seat at the table for every season after.

Why It Matters

More than a one-time trip

Guns Up! gives combat veterans the chance to experience waterfowl hunts in a welcoming, non-threatening setting. More than a one-time trip, the program builds lasting connections: veterans return each year, not only to enjoy the outdoors but to find community and support. The bonds formed help combat the ongoing challenges of PTSD and provide a network where veterans feel valued and never alone.

Your contribution helps cover everything from adaptive equipment and transportation to hunting gear, licenses, and meals. It also funds inclusive activities and outreach to ensure all veterans, regardless of ability, can take part.
