I sincerely thank Giving Back Outdoors (GBO) and the Wake Foundation for an amazing Colorado elk hunting trip and experience. The lodging, food, and personal service from GBO staff Hunter Fedders and Kinzer Knust was incredible!!

I am forever grateful for the opportunity and “healing through the outdoors” experience. I was honored to meet Tom Rankin (Wake Foundation), Randall Orguello, Kevin Gebhart, Marty Baker, Ryan Allen, Gracie Allen, Francis Wilson, and Brian Palmer. I saw hundreds of elk, beautiful snow capped mountains, and was able to harvest my first elk ever.

GBO please continue doing extraordinary things! You all are making a difference one person at a time. God bless everyone.

I want to thank you Jeremy and the GBO team for what you did to make this happen successfully. GBO teammates Kinzer and Nate were so courteous and helpful; a couple of genuinely great guys.

I’d first like to say thanks to GBO for extending the invitation to both me AND my son Tripp. My son is my shadow on most everything we do outdoors so allowing him to participate in this hunt generated a lifetime of memories he and I will always share together!

I cannot state enough how hospitable and accommodating Giving Back Outdoors (GBO) was for my fellow Marines and me during a GBO-sponsored turkey hunt in Southern Iowa during April, 2021.

Thank you to Giving Back Outdoors for taking me on a once-in-a-lifetime Idaho elk hunt. I am so thankful for everything you do for us veterans.

I was fortunate enough to meet Jeremy in 2021 after being introduced through our mutual friend, who met Jeremy by random chance while both were stopped for gas while on their way to separate hunting trips.

What another great experience! I say experience because it’s more than a you and vet hunt, it’s where you spend quality time with friends and family.

At first, I was very apprehensive about participating in the veteran/youth turkey hunting event with Giving Back Outdoors in Iowa.
