Our mission is to give our American heroes a weekend of guided duck hunting on the storied Horicon Marsh home cooked meals, brotherhood healing and sincere gratitude for everything they have given us. Thanks to the generosity of donors, to date we have been able to provide over a decade of annual duck hunting weekends filled with relaxation, laughter and healing to our American heroes. And some years, even a duck or two.
This film produced by Legendary Whitetails is dedicated to those who have served and provides a great depiction of what the annual event is all about.
The film documents the annual event - a duck hunt for veterans on the historic Horicon Marsh. The event is driven by hard working volunteers who provide warm homemade meals, lodging, and prizes, in addition to guided duck, goose, and upland bird hunts with the help and generosity of many local donors.
