Annual Grouse Hunt Empowers UP Veterans
The Aspen Thunder Veterans Hunt offers veterans space to build community and heal.
A special bird hunt aimed to empower veterans took place on Saturday in the woodlands for grouse during the 3rd annual Aspen Thunder Veterans Hunt.
Operation Aspen Thunder was made possible with the help of volunteers, Aspen Thicket Grouse Dogs and BDM Gun Dogs Kennel. This year, participants nearly doubled, with 16 veterans and two active duty personnel.
“Everybody has their main idea of what a veteran is, but you have people from all different walks of life experiences, doing all sorts of jobs in the army,”
said Scott Wojsnarowicz, a recruiter who takes every opportunity to build camaraderie with veterans.
The hunt creates a welcoming environment for veterans who need support, such as those who are experiencing PTSD. Event co-organizer Mark Schlicht notes that grouse hunting can be as physically demanding as desired.
“You think about stress, right?”
said Schlicht.
