Giving back to our wounded heroes...
The Nevada Outfitters and Guides Association (NOGA) is currently working on their 14th Annual Wounded Hero project to provide a U.S. military person with a free elk tag and guided week-long Nevada hunting trip during the 2023 fall hunting season.
2022's recipient, Scott Carpenter, was in Usmc 0311 1st battalion 7th marines and 2nd battalion 7th 2005-2009 two tours in Iraq and one tour in Afghanistan.
This project was originally inspired by a NOGA member who wanted to do something meaningful to "give back" to those who have laid their lives on the line to protect our freedom. This year a Master Guide will guide the veteran on a six-day hunt using their extensive hunting expertise and equipment.
NOGA members are working to raise funds for the hunt and gather donations of hunting gear, clothing, and/or cash for the recipient's travel expenses and pre/post hunt lodging, so the experience will be totally free. Everyone we've approached so far echoes the words of the Master Guide who inspired this project: "It just feels good to be doing this." We hope you will feel the same and contribute whatever you can to help make this hunt a once- in-a-lifetime opportunity for one of our veterans.
Please make checks payable to "NV Outfitters and Guides Association" and send them to the address below. Contact me with your questions or to arrange for shipment or local pickup of your donated items. All donations to our nonprofit organization for this project are tax deductible and will be gratefully acknowledged in project publicity. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
