Through hunting, fishing, and wildlife adventures tailored for veterans — including those with disabilities — our outdoor programs offer camaraderie, challenge, and the chance to get outdoors again.

SONS Veterans with Disabilities Turkey Hunt

The Sons of The American Legion Detachment of Minnesota Veterans with Disabilities Turkey Hunt had its inaugural turkey hunt the end of September 2025. Even though this event was limited to two hunters, both went home with two huge Tom's. Look for more information for the 2026 hunt as the program develops.
