Moving Forward – A Wounded Warrior Project Hunting Video
Project Upland and Ruffed Grouse Society honor the veterans of the Wounded Warrior Project.
Ruffed Grouse Society presents, along with Cabela’s Outdoor Fund and Moving Forward, a Wounded Warrior Project Hunting Video. Follow Director of Member Relations and Outreach Mark Fouts in the New Hunter Mentor Program. This is a national program that targets all age demographics to further the participation in hunting throughout the country. This important film follows veterans in the Wounded Warrior Program as they are given an opportunity to hunt Ruffed Grouse and the American Woodcock over English Pointers.
“I am a veteran and the individual who mentored me, that took me under his wing, was a veteran. It wasn’t really talked about, as far as being a veteran. But sometimes I think the veterans ourselves are forgotten over the years. When I say we are forgotten, it’s not taken for granted, it’s just people just assume that your brave your strong, that you don’t need help.” – Mark Fouts
The opportunity presented here is to help grow all hunting, not just bird hunting, as a way to engage future purchases of hunting licenses which are an important part of conservation.
