I was introduced to Dan and Operation Reboot Outdoors when I was in search of a guide for my moose hunt. Dan called me, introduced himself, and since that day he (and all the other volunteers) have become family to me! I have attended a bear hunt and a moose hunt with Reboot and I was successful both times. However, something happened that I never expected. For a few days during each hunt I wasn’t over loaded with burden, drowning in depression, weighted down with guilt, or ready to explode with anger and confusion. Instead, I was among friends who understood me. I was surrounded by people I have never met, yet they treated me like like we were friends from childhood. For those few days I didn’t have to worry about anything, I wasn’t stressed out, I was just me and that was ok. The actual hunts were first class all they way. I harvested my first bear ever and my moose……well that was as amazing as it could get. I harvested a beautiful 705 lb, 38” spread bull moose. Onto of the harvests, I saw 5 bulls and 2 cows which is always an amazing thing in itself. I guess what I'm saying here is that if you get the opportunity to do something with Operation Reboot, DO IT! Don’t back out, Don’t be skeptical, just DO IT, will NOT regret it. For me it was a life changer. Just being with these volunteers is as big of a win as you can get. Thank you for everything you all did !!!

As much fun as the fishing and hunting trips have been, my favorite part of any of the Reboot events is the nights spent together in camp. The laughing, smack talk, and of course the food, are really what I look forward to the most..

Dan and the reboot crew are nothing short of awesome. As soon as you meet anyone from the team you can tell that they truly care about helping vets. You will feel like family and they stop at nothing to ensure your success and enjoyment. Don’t hesitate if you’re given the opportunity to attend one of their events.

When I first heard of Operation Reboot Outdoors (ORO) I was under the impression ORO was for military service members. After looking into the organization, I realized and was told that ORO is and was all about people and the military was only a connection. They also stand with and back Law Enforcement Officers (LEO). I was selected to attend a bear hunt this year and was only too happy to attend. I was a little apprehensive as I am not prior military like two of my friends that also have been involved in ORO were and hearing their stories about their times during boot comp or deployment. I was unsure of how I would be treated (odd man out or unable to relate ect) but that was the farthest from what happened. As I said I was selected for a bear hunt. I arrived first and met the previous land owner / guide and another volunteer. They told me to head to camp and get situated. I selected a room and unloaded my gear. During the day two other guys showed up and we were given advise, instruction and we were also advised that several of the others had to cancel. I was thinking. Who would pass up a hunt where all you really had to do was get there, buy a license and wait for your bear. No brainer. We were also told by Dan ( team leader) that he was trying to get fill ins from the next week or past hunters. The staff volunteers did everything. The guides were AWESOME (shout out to the Noyes Boys). We had a driver (Kenny) to bring us to the guides or stand or back to the camp. I observed a bear cub the first night. Had a moose walk into my barrel the same night. That was just night one and as far as I was concerned my reboot happened. I met and talked with all the guests and staff and never once felt like the odd man out. I made some great contacts and new friends Doc, Ed, Nick ,Pops and Kevin. This is a GREAT organization and the people involved work so hard to make sure every guest is taken care of, fed and put on animals and included. I can’t thank Dan, Kenny and the other Reboot staff enough for my trip and Reboot. I look forward to the next……..ORO!!!

I was fortunate enough to be drawn for a spring turkey hunt with Operation Reboot. Immediately from the time I showed up I was welcomed in like family. The hunting crews had done their homework making for an amazing hunting experience. The camaraderie was exceptional as were the meals. I would highly recommend Operation Reboot.
