Team Minnesota recently ventured to South Dakota for an exhilarating weekend snow goose hunt, bringing together five veterans from diverse backgrounds, including Minnesota, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Georgia. The camaraderie and shared purpose created an electric atmosphere as the group prepared for the hunt.

Under the expert guidance of @605 Waterfowl Outfitters, the team was placed in prime locations, where the excitement quickly built. The sound of wings overhead signaled the start of the action, and soon enough, the team was in full swing, working together to harvest an impressive total of 33 snow geese. The thrill of each successful shot echoed in the crisp air, creating moments of joy and celebration.

A few veterans even seized the opportunity to take their birds to the taxidermist, ensuring that the memories of this incredible hunt would last a lifetime.

The success of the weekend wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of many. A heartfelt thank you goes to @Capra’s Outdoors for donating two cases of shotgun shells, ensuring everyone was well-equipped for the hunt. Special appreciation also goes to Josh Davis, who volunteered his time as the blind cook, providing delicious meals that fueled the team’s adventures. Lastly, a big shoutout to @Sand Creek Lodge for graciously hosting the group, offering a warm and welcoming place to relax after a long day in the field.

Hometown Hero Outdoors once again demonstrated the power of nature to bring veterans together, creating lasting bonds and unforgettable memories. Team Minnesota returned home with not only their harvested birds but also a renewed sense of camaraderie and adventure.
