About Us
Showing Respect Where Respect is Due.
Ben Davis Outdoors is a non-profit organization designed to bring veterans together and give them the chance to enjoy the outdoors. Scott Davis started this organization in honor of his father Ben Davis to show continuous support to our veterans.
Who Is Ben Davis?
Ben Davis was an avid hunter and one of the toughest to ever walk the earth. At the age of 16, he broke his back in a car wreck. Doctors told him he would be wheelchair bound the rest of his life. Hunting was a big part of his identity, most definitely a passion he excelled at. Being in a wheelchair wasn’t going to work for him, so as a paraplegic, he taught himself how to walk. Though aided with canes, Ben found a way to make it work.
Ben was the Grant County Executive Director of the USDA Farm Service Agency for 40 years. Farmers loved him. He treated the government office like a coffee shop. His relationships with landowners provided many opportunities to live his passion for hunting. Physical limitations did not stop him from enjoying many mornings in the blind.
He shared this love with his family and close friends. Ben passed away in 2015 due to leukemia. His memory lives on through Ben Davis Outdoors which serves men and women of our armed services, both retired and active duty. Many of the vets we serve have physical limitations of varying degrees, and the vast majority deal with PTSD every day. Ben always believed that getting out to enjoy the outdoors through hunting, fishing, and other activities was very therapeutic. This is the reason Ben Davis Outdoors exists.
