Mission Statement

To give wounded warriors and veterans from all branches a chance to enjoy the outdoor adventures of hunting and/or fishing. To give them a peaceful place to take in the best Mother Nature has to offer. Being a disabled veteran myself, I know how much the outdoors can help you relax and enjoy yourself.

Testimonials

I recently had the incredible opportunity to embark on a truly unforgettable journey with Warriors for the Outdoors, and I cannot emphasize enough how amazing this nonprofit organization is! Led by my dear friend Jimmy, a true hero and advocate for veterans, this organization goes above and beyond to provide an exceptional outdoor experience for those who have served our country.

Our adventure began at Jimmy’s beautiful farm in South Carolina, where the warm hospitality and genuine camaraderie instantly made us feel like family. From the moment we set foot on the property, it was evident that Warriors for the Outdoors was dedicated to creating an environment where veterans and their loved ones could connect, heal, and create lasting memories.

Jimmy took us on an unforgettable hunting excursion, and under his expert guidance, my two sons, Caden and Carson, and I were able to shoot our first hogs. It was a thrilling and empowering experience that we will cherish forever. The emphasis on safety, respect for nature, and ethical hunting practices was truly commendable.

But the adventure didn’t stop there! Warriors for the Outdoors also treated us to an incredible offshore fishing trip. The excitement of reeling in a magnificent Mahi and snapper was only surpassed by the joy of sharing those moments with fellow veterans who understood the deep-rooted connection between nature and healing.

What sets Warriors for the Outdoors apart is their genuine passion for creating meaningful connections and fostering a sense of belonging. Jimmy’s dedication to his fellow veterans is evident in every aspect of the organization. He is not only a remarkable leader but also a true friend and mentor to everyone involved.

The impact that Warriors for the Outdoors has on the lives of veterans and their families is immeasurable. Through outdoor activities, they provide an avenue for healing, camaraderie, and personal growth. Jimmy’s vision and the hard work of everyone involved in this nonprofit are truly changing lives for the better.

If you’re a veteran or have a loved one who served, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Warriors for the Outdoors. Whether it’s hunting, fishing, or any other outdoor adventure, their commitment to creating unforgettable experiences is unparalleled. Prepare for an adventure that will leave you with cherished memories, lifelong friendships, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Thank you, Warriors for the Outdoors, for the life-changing experience and for everything you do to support our veterans. You have our utmost respect and gratitude.

Best regards,

Adam, Caden, and Carson

I got an offer to come try to get a hog and the first night this one came out. I’ve never used a night vision scope but this ATN X Sight was amazingly clear and did the trick.

After asking me many many times I was finally able to go on a fishing trip with Jimmy. He had everything that was needed and we caught one heck of a fish. Thanks for the trip and the memories.

Larry M.

We had an awesome day fishing. Caught some great fish and went home with plenty of groceries and memories. Can’t wait to do it again.

First time ever getting to go offshore fishing and it was great. Caught several of the mahi and had some great eating afterwards. Thanks for the great trip.

I met fellow Veteran, Jimmy Bates, several years ago. We developed a relationship, eventually into hunting and fishing. Recently, he invited me to hunt on a newly purchased property near Kershaw, SC. We explored and baited fields and stayed overnight. I was fortunate to shoot a buck and have it processed. This was a special experience for a “city” boy who has not hunted much in recent years and an encouragement to a 73 year old.

I had the pleasure of hunting Mr Bates land with the Warriors got the Outdoors. I had a great time hunting even though I didn’t have any luck. It was great spending time outdoors with fellow veterans. I would definitely be interested in coming back.

I was fortunate to hunt with Warriors for the Outdoors on sept 20-21. It was so great meeting local veterans in the area and connecting with them and sharing stories at supper. The hog and deer I harvested was icing on the cake. Jimmy is a super good guy and is full of life and a fellow veteran as well.
