Operation Whitetail

A SPECIAL HUNT AND ONE HECK OF A MONTANA WHITETAIL

We had some pretty special visitors stop by Kenetrek Headquarters in Bozeman, Montana recently and they brought along an impressive whitetail buck and an even better story!

These three gentlemen traveled from different parts of the country to participate in Operation Whitetail, a nationwide initiative that honors our military veterans by providing donated hunting opportunities, creating lasting friendships and unforgettable outdoor experiences.

Organized through Charlie 22 Outdoors, this hunt was especially memorable for Talon, a 20 year army veteran who harvested this uniquely antlered Montana buck just a short distance from our headquarters. His success marked the first successful Operation Whitetail hunt of the year!

The generosity didn't end with the hunt. The amazing folks at Yellowstone Game Processing donated the processing of Talon's deer, while Patriot Taxidermy in Belgrade, Montana generously donated a shoulder mount to preserve the memory of this incredible experience. Generous landowners and Guides also helped make these opportunities come together.

And here's the part we especially loved! Although these three gentlemen came here from different corners of the country, they all showed up wearing Kenetrek Boots! Naturally, they couldn't pass up the opportunity to stop by our Visitor Center, show us Talon's trophy, and share a few hunting stories. We couldn't have been happier to welcome them!

On this Veterans Day, we want to thank Talon, his fellow veterans, and every man and woman who has served our great nation. We also extend our gratitude to Charlie 22 Outdoors, Yellowstone Game Processing, Patriot Taxidermy, and everyone who helped make this hunt possible.

From all of us at Kenetrek Boots, THANK YOU to our veterans for your service and sacrifice!
