Todd

Todd Hisey

“During my 22 years with the Canadian Army as an Officer, the phrase Know your Men and Promote their Welfare stuck with me. In 2018, and after nearly six years of PTSD treatment, it was determined that I could no longer work in a traditional role; but I still felt compelled to give back to the community and help my fellow soldiers.  In January 2019, The Veteran Hunters launched with a website, podcast, and social media presence and immediately connected with
Veterans.”

MB Manager

Served in the Canadian Army from 1997 - 2018 with 1 RCHA.

 

Hunting to me is a means to connect with creation as well as teach our children the responsibilities with management of our resources. 

Bowhunting is life!

Shawn

Shawn

NB Manager

I Joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 1990 as an Armoured Crewman and then a Vehicle Technician in 1997 until 2017. I had a variety of postings and 3 deployments to Bosnia (Rotos 9, 10 & 11).
As an outdoor enthusiast, I believe it is very as important to pass the skills and knowledge of hunting onto others. A successful hunt means more than just harvesting an animal, the success is enjoying being able to enjoy entire experience

Jon

Jon

AB Manager

Served in the Canadian Armed Forces from 2002-2020, as Artillery, and as an Engineer. Served two tours: in Haiti (2010) and Romania (2014).

 

I am an outdoors enthusiast with a primary focus on bowhunting and trapping. I have a passion for calling elk.

Success looks very different for everyone. I define mine by creating experiences in the woods, and helping others achieve their goals.

Served in the Canadian Armed Forces from 2002-2018 as a Military Police member.  Deployed to Afghanistan in 2006 and 2011.

As young as I can remember my dad took me hunting and fishing which quickly became a passion.
I take every opportunity to be in the outdoors. I yearly hunt moose, deer, elk, bear, turkey and small game. I also fish in the off season mostly for brook trout. I am thrilled to be able to host Veteran Hunters in Quebec and share my passion for hunting while creating new memories.
