H2O YOUTH PROGRAM
The start of 2016 was great with H2O Youth
Hunts. Uniquely one of these hunts was an all
girls hunt with all three girls named Bailey. They
were first time hunters and were taught gun
safety, parts of the gun, and shooting techniques
before qualifying on the range at a 100 yard
target. All Trinity Oaks sponsored youth hunters
must take part in the safety course and qualify
on the range before they are allowed to hunt an
animal. The weekend was full of new
friendships, giggles, braids, and pink stuff!
Another hunt was an all boys evening hunt (also
their first time hunting) resulting in the harvest of two whitetail does.
Trinity Oaks believes with education and proper initiation of youth we must teach the cultural and aesthetic pleasures necessary to cement the next generation of hunting and fishing.
These 10 kids had an amazing time. They started off with a hunters education class, gun safety and
range time. They hunted for whitetail doe and spikes as part of the ranch management program.
Yesterday afternoon, before the evening hunt, we planted cypress trees in memory of and to honor
Lt. Paul Silber. Thank you to our supporters, sponsors and donors that make all this possible.
Working together we are making a difference. Some of the meat from the youth hunts will be
processed at the Trinity Oaks processing plant . The meat, which is free to recipients, will be
distributed to various orphanages, missions and to the needy.
PROCESSING PLANT NEWS
Almost 750 pounds of venison hamburger was delivered to the Midland soup kitchen Ministry. The meat is from animals harvested at our youth, veteran and Dream trips. It was processed and packaged by volunteers.
World Church in Reynosa, Mexico
Last summer Trinity Oaks in partnership with
Pablo Aquilo of Pointer Wingshooting, Joe
Hosmer, Britt Hosmer and Tom & Nona Snyder
purchased boxes of school supplies for the
underprivileged children at a small rural school
in Argentina. Today we were blessed to receive
these wonderful works of art as a thank you!
Giving back to make a difference in the lives of
others!
We wrapped up another Great Hero Celebration! Based on the pictures it looks like
our guys had an amazing time. Thank you to everyone that helped us make a
difference! Working together we are impacting a lot more lives! We can never do
enough to thank our wounded Heroes for their service and sacrifice!

UPCOMING EVENTS Benefiting our Veterans Program
IN MEMORY OF
Hayden Smallwood
Hayden’s dream was to hunt a whitetail
buck! In January 2016 Trinity Oaks, with
the help of sponsors and donors, was able
to make this dream come true. This trip
was a huge boost to the family’s morale
and their hearts. In Hayden’s words, “I
was able to forget about the hospitals and
needles… I just want to live normally this
weekend”. 4 years ago Hayden was
diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. In March
of 2016 he was called to be with the Lord.
He was an exceptional young man, wise
beyond his years!
DREAM TRIPS
His Dream was to shoot a big buck and
be able to wake up in the morning
looking up at the big whitetail rack
hanging above his bed. Thanks to The
Ruple Family and our generous
supporters, Trinity Oaks was able to
make this dream a reality!
DREAM TRIPS
Hayden’s determination was strong
and his attitude was positive and
encouraging. He hoped his story could
inspire others battling cancer.
Hayden was also featured in the Texas
Trophy Hunters Magazine (May/June
edition).

VETERANS: Hero Celebrations hosted 225 live combat and disabled veterans of all generations, branches of the military, and from past and present conflicts. DREAM TRIPS: We hosted 9 Dream Trips ranging from a south Texas trophy whitetail deer hunt to an Alaskan moose hunt. These unique trips are based on the final wishes of the terminally ill participant. MEAT: Distributed over 9,000 lbs. of meat monthly, equating to more than 100,000 lbs. annually, which is over 540,000 individual meals served! This venison goes to faith-based soup kitchens and orphanages throughout Texas and other areas. INCREASED CAPACITY: Since Trinity Oaks’ inception in 2007, every single program has increased in capacity by more than +10% annually thanks to your donations and support.
