Where We Hunt
Richvale. The Pacific Flyway.
Rice country, flooded for the season, under one of the premier migration corridors in North America.
The Field
Ducks, geese, and restorative ground
Our hunts take place near Richvale, California, in the heart of the Pacific Flyway. Known as one of the premier migration corridors in North America, this region is surrounded by rice country that provides ideal habitat for ducks and geese throughout the season. The expansive wetlands and flooded rice fields create an unmatched environment for waterfowl hunting, offering veterans not only world-class opportunities in the field but also a chance to connect with the land, wildlife, and each other in a setting that is both restorative and abundant.
The Lodge
From the field to the table
Each hunt concludes back at the lodge, where the focus shifts from the field to fellowship. Veterans gather around the table to share a hearty meal, swap stories, and enjoy the camaraderie that makes these trips memorable. Together, we clean gear, prepare waterfowl, and take part in the traditions that bond hunters across generations. These moments are just as meaningful as the hunt itself — creating space for laughter, reflection, and the simple joy of being part of a team again.
