Deer and Turkey hunters at the RTBMO Basecamp have been well taken care of by the wheel chair accessible stands built by our RTBMO Board Members and Volunteers. The sites have been selected along the game trails, as observed by our SpyPoint Trail Camera network. Both permanent deer stands are 8'x8' and 9' tall with a wheel chair ramp and 36" door that makes them accessible for all hunters. Large ground blinds can accommodate all-terrain wheelchairs and a guide. We've also developed three ladder stand sites for additional hunting options. All stands cover food plots to maximize the Outstanding Outdoor Experience!
Additional Stand Features planned for Fall 2024 Hunting Season:
Stand to Stand Communication Devices
Portable or Solar Power and Heaters in each permanent stand
RTBMO Owned ATV / UTV Transportation
Providing Outstanding Outdoor Experiences for Veterans and Veterans Families on the 53 Acre Base Camp will require Quality New or Used Equipment. Mostly a Wilderness Environment and Terrain, the Base Camp Operations requires both All-Terrain Equipment and a way to Secure these Valuable Assets. The RTBMO, with Donor Support from our Veteran Friendly Community, has procured Essential Equipment and Secure Storage to Property Outfit the Base Camp.

A High Quality 2 to 4 Seat Utility Task Vehicle (w/Dump Bed)
A Versatile Compact Tractor (w/Loader, Brush Hog and Box Blade)
A 40-Foot Steel Shipping Container used to Store the UTV and Tractor
