Hunting excursion for cow elk on private property outside of Preston, Idaho with a mentor. VetCREW provides lodging in a canvas tent with a cot. Veterans are to provide sleeping bags and all personal clothing appropriate for varied weather, including cold and snow. VetCREW and our partners at Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF) will provide food at the camp. Veterans must have an Idaho hunting license and be able to obtain a tag for an elk. Veterans must be able to traverse at least one mile of mountainous terrain. Please note that the selection committee relies most on the narrative question about why you would benefit from the hunt in making their decisions, so please be thoughtful with your answer.
A pre-camp dinner is currently scheduled in Boise on July 18, 2026, for selected Veterans, prior hunters, and their families. Hunt dates are the week of November 8th to 14th, 2026.
ALL VETCREW EVENTS ARE ALCOHOL-FREE. IF YOU CANNOT GO WITHOUT ALCOHOL FOR THE DURATION OF THE HUNT, PLEASE DO NOT APPLY.
