2022 SUCCESSFUL HUNTERS
In 2023, Camp Liberty hosted 24 veteran and active-duty hunters. 12 were successful in harvesting a deer. Camp Liberty has planted 8 food plots as part of this year’s conservation plan. We expect that this will be a good year for whitetails and have already observed some nice bucks this summer. Camp Liberty will provide lodging, food, heated hunting blinds, and a guide to assist you. You may use your own firearm or Camp Liberty can coordinate your use of a firearm. You will need to arrange your own transportation to Camp Liberty and your hunting license. Hunting licenses may be free for Michigan resident veterans with a disability and active-duty military personnel.
We expect that there will be more applicants for deer hunting than Camp Liberty can accommodate. Hunters will be determined through a random drawing administered by Camp Liberty’s Hunting Committee. To apply to hunt at Camp Liberty, click the following link, fill out the application, and click on submit.
