I have owned this land for 5 years am having distress with payment, if there were accord $ available I would develop it for Handicapped Vets for deer, Turkey. I could place 6 hunters daily SAFELY. They could hunt from wheelchairs or even cars or trucks. I am 100% disabled-everlastingly also so I know what a thrill it is to be able to get into the woods again. I have a small cabin there sleeps 3, want to place up a small pole construction/bunkhouse/kitchen for the comfort of guests. I do NOT want to profit from this, I would just like to be able to keep it and share it. I worked for 20 years as a Wildlife Biologist, I used to take kids in wheelchairs out to a duck blind in a boat, or Pheasant hunting, what a WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! There is a 240 acre field between my land and County road I have never had tresspass problems. On opening day of any season at the Wildlife Area one can sit in my cabin and watch the deer & Turkeys run into my woods to hide so there is always lots of action.

Your best bet is doubtless to get it declared as a scenery preserve. Most states have something where you don’t have to pay taxes on land you are maintaining as a scenery preserve.

Your thought is admirable, have you tried meeting with one of your Disorder representatives to discuss the merits of your plot and needed accord funding. Also, you may want to attend a VFW meeting in your area to learn from them if they themselves have a resource for you to pursue.
Best wishes,

You need to get local Vet oranizations on line for this. You also need to get ahold of the nearest Politician to help on this or the VA. Anyone against this just isn’t human and I dont care what someones take is on hunting. Life out in the woods or scenery itself is a very small payment for Vets.
If we had something like this near where I hunt, I’d be honored to come cook for a group for their hunt. I am sure there is some funding out there but be prepared to have your outfit, thought, plot, land, accessability, scrutinzed if there are any public moneys caught up.
Then when word gets out, there will be another group from PETA wanting to get Fed funding for a similar bird watch group or some other set aside, non-hunting area. If it is for the Vets that want that, then fine also.
I truly wish you excellent fortune on this venture. God Bless.
