Learn more about Plain Values at https://plainvalues.com.In the rolling hills of Amish country, a small youth deer hunt that started with just four kids in 2012 has exploded into something extraordinary... A thriving 501(c)(3) that gives disabled, special-needs, and first-time hunters a life-changing day in the woods.Today, their flagship event draws 700+ spectators to watch 36 hunters—ages 9 to 80, many in wheelchairs or with profound challenges—head out across 32 private farms and a 580-acre lease. Wheelchair-accessible blinds, bite-trigger crossbows, mirrored scopes for blind hunters, thermal drones for tracking—nothing is too much. In 2024, 27 of 36 hunters tagged deer in one afternoon. Families wept. Nonverbal kids spoke their first words of excitement. One blind young man who had never seen a deer felt “buck fever” so intensely he shook uncontrollably, then harvested his first doe with help from Ten Point Crossbow’s Barb Terry.Whitetail Heritage proves conservation isn’t just about herd management, it’s about stewardship of people too. In a culture that often overlooks the disabled or inexperienced, these men and their army of landowners, drone pilots, butchers, and volunteers are the hands and feet of something greater.They’re praying the passion passes to the next generation and that God keeps their hearts fixed on the hunters, not the applause.Find out more at: https://whitetailheritageofohio.net/Welcome to the Plain Values Podcast, please meet our friend Curt Yoder ...This conversation encapsulates what we hope to do here with the Plain Values Podcast, telling stories that matter and bringing us closer to the table.If this conversation filled your coffee cup, we would humbly invite you to leave a thoughtful comment below and please, don’t be shy … the Like and Subscribe buttons help more friends find this episode. We’re always looking for more friends.🩵🩵🩵
