This year’s Hunting Dakota with Roosevelt (HDwR) event marks a decade of providing “a unique hunt of a lifetime” for members of the military, sportsmen and volunteers. The event started in 2008 with the ambitious goal of combining efforts to raise money for the fight against cancer, honor the state’s military, and incorporate the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation on the land where Theodore Roosevelt lived and hunted. From its first year, the event has succeeded in meeting this goal and has also created impacts beyond anything organizers thought possible.
