If you successfully drew a tag and need assistance on your hunt, please contact us as soon possible to coordinate the hunt.  

Question: Does H3O Pay for the hunting license or tag?

Answer:  No.  The foundation's mission is to help our heroes conduct their hunts.  We do not pay for transportation to Arizona, hunting licenses or hunt tags. 

Question: What does the foundation pay for?

Answer: The foundation pays for the client's food, transportation and lodging expenses once they have arrived in Arizona.

Question:  Where do we stay when hunting?

Answer:  We try to provide the best hunting experience as possible.  Sometimes those hunts include out of tents (camping), RV's, hotels, or out of our own homes.  The healing is about camaraderie.

Question:  Are there guns or bows available or do we have to bring our own?

Answer: It is advisable that all clients bring their own hunting equipment.  This includes, clothing, guns, bows, scent control, cold weather gear and supplies, and ammo.  The foundation does have the following:

• Optics (Binoculars, Spotting Scope, & Rangefinder) donated by Vortex Optics
• PSE TAC 10 Crossbow

Question:  How far will we be expected to shoot?

Answer:  It is advisable for hunters using the hold over method to zero their rifle at 300 yards and be very familiar with your guns performance out to 400 - 450 yards.  If you are doping your scope, we recommend zeroing your gun 3-4 inches high at 100 yards and using the Shooter App.  This app allows you to input your zero range, as well as your zero offset height and calculate appropriate MOA adjustments.  Most shots will be taken between 250-400 yards.
