These Veterans gave of themselves so we could enjoy the outdoors. Their disabilities should not restrict them from sharing in the same outdoor enjoyment. It is the mission of the Veterans Afield U.A. to ensure that they are given the same opportunity.
My name is Patrick D. Horvath and I am the founder and president of Veterans Afield U.A., an unincorporated nonprofit association. This association was formed and implemented in June of 2013. The association is designed to take disabled veterans, men and women trap shooting, duck hunting, pheasant hunting and/or just a chance to get out and enjoy the outdoors. I work with the Veterans Administration (VA) hospital Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) department and the Paralyzed Veterans of America, Wisconsin Chapter to give veterans with spinal cord injuries an opportunity to participate in what I have to offer. I belong to Wild Wings Sportsman's Club and as a member I can purchase live pheasants and ducks. I make available dog handlers with pointers, flushers or retrievers depending on the type of hunt the veterans choose. We provide a pheasant tower shoot or a duck shoot over open water with decoys and a wheelchair or walker accessible blind. We provide the proper equipment to accommodate the veterans safely regardless of which hunt they choose.
The Veterans at this point in time must provide their own transportation to and from the hunting areas. We will assist in the transfers to the hunting sites. I provide the guns, shells, birds, dogs, dog handlers, blaze orange hats and vests (that they keep), the A.T.V. if required and exchange of shot birds for clean frozen birds. I also provide a photo album and photos of the hunts for each veteran as I carry a camera during the hunts and not a firearm. The club provides a nice lunch for the veterans and their care givers after the hunt at the club house. There is absolutely no cost to the veterans.
I will take out most any disabled veteran in addition to spinal cord injured veterans providing it can be done in a safe manner. The only thing the veterans need do is make contact with me to take advantage of what Veterans Afield has to offer.
