Early Nov., 2021: Mule deer hunt in Montana
In early November, John and Betty Williams, along with their son Burl, hosted a mule deer hunt on their "Sweeting" Ranch outside of Lewistown, Montana.  W.H.O. Monitor Corey Clark, Kim Dumka (U.S. Army) and Jeremiah Parison (Firefighter), while enjoying the Williams' hospitality, harvested three nice mule deer. 
This is the second year the Williams' have hosted this hunt.  A big heartfelt Thank You for giving back to those who have served and sacrificed.
Thank You,
W.H.O. Foundation
The 2021 hunt was from 7 Oct. to 30 Oct. this year. This was the fourth consecutive year, Jim and Rochelle Koltiska hosted the hunt on their ranch. This year a new landowner John and Robby Smith extended their hospitality to us as well. Many thanks to both the Koltiska and Smith families for their support. Additionally, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to Lt. Chris Vallejo,and the members of the Wyoming National Guard for their continued support. The trip was very successful both in terms of the animals harvested and the camaraderie shared by all. In total ten W.H.O. volunteers and staff provided a quality outdoor experience for thirty Vets, First Responders and family members. The group harvested 49 deer, 16 antelope, 2 turkeys and one prairie dog. Lastly, we'd like to thank Sgt. Major Bruce Parkman, Army Special Forces, Retired, for his bagpipe concert, which was enjoyed by all including the Koltiska cattle herd. 
 
Oct 7-30, 2021: Deer, antelope & turkey hunt in Sheridan WY
In late August and early September, Bob and Ida Kantor graciously hosted 3 W.H.O members at their Katmai Lodge on the Alagnak River in Alaska.  Bob Caulk (U.S.N.), Corey Clark (L.E.O) and Walker Taylor (W.H.O Supporter) got to spend a week at the Katmai Lodge.  They enjoyed first-class dining and accommodations while experiencing world-class salmon and trout fishing.  Additionally, a side trip to Brooks River Falls for bear watching was included.  All 3 are pilots and logged some stick time in the lodge's Turbine Otter.  In addition, Mike and Gina Bergt provided overnight accommodations at their Covid Manor Hangar at Lakehood in Anchorage.

A big thank you to Bob, Ida, Mike, Gina and the entire Katmai Lodge staff for making this world-class adventure possible.

Thank You
