February 7, 2026 – Southern Maryland & Beyond
Hosted by Huntin’ with Jacob in partnership with the Chesapeake Longbeards
(Calvert County – Maryland National Wild Turkey Federation)
Huntin’ with Jacob, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is proud to host our 2nd Annual Youth & Veteran Waterfowl Hunt. This free, community-centered event introduces youth and veterans—many for the very first time—to the traditions of waterfowling, conservation, and safe firearm handling.
Last year, we welcomed 51 youth and 3 veterans for a day of hunting, camaraderie, and outdoor skills training at River Land Farm on the Patuxent River. In 2026, we’re expanding our reach with a goal to introduce 125–150 youth and several veterans to the outdoors, with guided hunts across Southern Maryland, the Eastern Shore, and north of Baltimore.
