Feedback Requested - Bird Hunting

[TX 2 WA]

Guys, I'm requesting honest feedback on an idea I have. I've shot a lot of game birds across the country and quite honestly, don't really need to shoot many more. I do however have excellent bird dogs that I'm still going to take out and film with my GoPro.

My idea is this: offer up free hunts on public land, where I'm the "guide", and take father/son type groups that don't have the opportunity to go hunt, but desire to do so to be in the outdoors and experience all that nature has to offer. Hopefully, recruit a few new hunters into our mix.

The idea came to me as a calling and I'd like to incorporate a small portion of the hunt with Christian prayer and maybe a few applicable scriptures during part of the hunt. Just my way of a simple ministry to give back. I live in WA now, but would love to set up trips around the country as well.

Any quality feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

Excellent idea. Can never have enough of watching bird dogs work and hearing the Gospel in my opinion.

Good luck!

Anytime you can get young people or newbies into the field it’s a win.

Then teach them how to vote

Contact your local (insert upland bird) forever groups and volunteer for the youth hunts.

We take kids on their first bird hunts with dogs after a summer of upland focused hunter safety. You can easily network from there.

Thanks @sndmn11, yeah there’s a ministry called Of Mountains and Men https://ofmountainsandmen.org/ . They have done this for a handful of years now with elk, pronghorn and mule deer, as well as some canoe trips to the Boundary Waters . I would highly recommend getting in touch with Steve- he heads up the ministry.
