Hunting with Soldiers is hosting 2 Children of Combat Veterans for a whitetail spike, doe, & hog hunt out of Olney, TX. Arrival is Friday October 24 by noon if possible since Youth Season starts on Friday the 24th. Departure is Sunday October 26.  Meals and housing are supplied. Veterans only need to bring ice chests for the meat, bedding, towel & washrag, and a weapon (we do not have enough youth model weapons to loan so child must have weapon). You and the Child must have and show proof of a valid Texas Hunting License (Child can not hunt using your license, they must have their own) & It is recommended that the child have completed the Hunters Education Course (it is available at many places as well as online.). Child MUST BE 16 years of age or "younger" at time of hunt and able to safely handle and shoot a firearm. Adult WILL NOT Shoot the animal for the child. The Game Warden will be coming to visit us at this hunt. This is for the Combat Veteran and one child each ONLY. You can not bring an extra person. Space does not allow. 

If you are interested in this event and you qualify as a "Combat Veteran" (A MUST), please complete this application: https://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/9Mzt1LmJ2asqxb3  In the section that states "Give the information of what Hunting/Fishing Trip are you applying for" put Olney Youth Hunt. The Child can not have hunted with Hunting with Soldiers before to qualify and have not been out with any other Organization as well. Parent of the Child chosen must send copy of DD214, or if still Active Duty, the form to show proof of being in Combat to huntingwithsoldiers@live.com (If the parent has hunted with us before, and has sent their information to us, the DD214 or other form if still active are not required). This must be your child or your step child living with you. NOT a friends child. This DOES NOT count towards any future hunts or fishing trips for the Combat Veteran. If you have hunted with us before, you still qualify to bring your child on a Child of Combat Veteran hunt. Remember, this is a hunt for the CHILD. Do not come planning on shooting for the child. If the Owners advise you can shoot an animal while there, all children must have gotten theirs first before you can hunt. There is no guarantee you will be able to hunt. This is a trip to get you into the outdoors and to bond with your child. Absolutely NO illegal substances will be allowed in or around the location. If you can not do without it, do not apply. You are responsible for transportation to and from the location of this event.
