Hunt Of A Lifetime Procedural Information

The following is provided for the youth:

  • Clothing, if required for hunt/charter; this will arrive in the form of a package from Cabelas or a Gift Card from Gander Mountain. If a Gift Card is received, it is for the appropriate rifle (if required) and all other needs related to the hunt/charter. (Note: We do NOT pay for permanent cameras, digital cameras, camcorders, or any electronics.) If you are in doubt regarding a purchase, please check with your HOAL contact. Taxidermy, for a maximum of two animals-shoulder mount or fish, if they achieve a harvest. Shipping of the youth's game, where possible.
  • For Youth and ONE companion: Travel expenses such as airfare, car rental, hotels, transfers, meals, film developing, video duplicating, etc. and any other expenses incurred for the purpose of helping their dream becoming a reality. (Note: We do NOT pay for alcohol or tobacco.) Youth is permitted to purchase souvenirs not to exceed $20 total. An appropriate expense check (or wire transfer) will be provided approximately one week prior to travel. Receipts are required to be submitted within 60 days after travel, along with any remaining funds to equal the total amount received. This is IRS law and failure to provide this information will result in possible legal action.
  • Important notes regarding travel arrangements: All travel arrangements regarding air travel, rental cars and hotels are handled by our HOAL Travel Agent, Terry Sage. Do not expect to be contacted regarding travel arrangements until approximately two weeks or so prior to travel. Contact info FYI is Terry Sage Travel Experts, terry@travelXperts.com or (814) 774-9045. She accepts calls 7 days a week. Please do not make travel arrangements on your own unless directed to do so by HOAL, as we have our own accounts with several suppliers.
  • Names of travelers must be provided as they appear on travelers' identification, i.e. photo driver's license or other government issued photo ID. This ID is required for anyone 16 and over. Canada requires a current passport if arriving by air. If arriving by land (driving) an original state issued birth certificate with raised seal, accompanied by photo ID is acceptable. If in doubt, check with Terry Sage or consult www.travel.state.gov. If additional companions would like to participate, they may do so at their own expense; however only after securing permission and additional cost (if any) from the outfitter. Air travel for any additional companions must be paid to HOAL prior to departure.
  • Car rental companies require a valid driver's license and a major credit card. Even if you will be paying for the car out of the funds provided by HOAL prior to travel, the credit card is still required and must match the driver's name.
  • Hotels are pre-reserved and guaranteed for late arrival. However, they are not usually pre paid.
  • Again, these accommodations are paid for out of the HOAL funds provided prior to travel, and receipts are required.
Please ASK if you are unclear about something. Thank you!
