Spring mornings have a way of slowing everything down—and with Kator Dunn Farm, that’s exactly the point.
“Great having Eric, Addison, John, and Julia at KDF for our 2026 Youth Turkey Hunt” says it simply, but behind that moment is something much bigger than a successful hunt. It’s about early wake-up calls in the dark, the quiet anticipation as the woods come alive, and the kind of patience you can’t learn from a screen.
This year’s youth turkey hunt brought together new faces and shared experiences that will stick for a long time. Guided by mentors and surrounded by the natural beauty of the farm, our warriors and their young hunters stepped into a tradition rooted in respect—for the land, for wildlife, and for each other. Whether it was their first hunt or one of many, each participant walked away with more than just a memory—they gained confidence, connection, and a deeper appreciation for the outdoors.
At Kator Dunn Farm, these moments are the mission. Creating space with warriors who have returned home the opportunity to invest time in young people for learning, growth, and experience is something real. It is grounding that isn’t just a program—it’s a commitment. The 2026 Youth Turkey Hunt was another reminder that when you give kids the opportunity to unplug and engage with the world around them, something meaningful always follows.
Here’s to more mornings like this—and the next generation learning to meet them head-on.
