Treats for the Troops – Send A Care Package of Jerky
I know that Jody over at The Hunter’s Wife blog doesn’t hunt, but I enjoy dropping in and reading her site from time to time anyway. She’s got a great sense of humor, and her site offers some interesting insights into what the “Hunters’ Widows” go through while we’re out in the field, preparing to go out into the field, talking about going out into the field, or just thinking about being out in the field.
Anyway, all of that aside, when I saw her recent post about the cool program that the House of Jerky is putting on, I had to share it here… and I hope others are spreading the word as well.
So here’s the deal. For anyone who wants to go to the House of Jerky site and order a package of jerky to send to the troops, HOJ will match your order, doubling the amount that you are sending. Not only that, but HOJ will also take care of the shipping and handling to get the care package on its way.
That’s a pretty sweet deal for those of us who just want to share our appreciation for the work those men and women are doing over there with a little gift. Sure, it might mean more business for HOJ, but I can’t think of a better way to share the wealth (so to speak).
I know that there are a lot of folks out there sending stuff overseas for the coming holidays, and there must be tons of innovative and thoughtful ideas. I’d love to hear about more of these kinds of programs, and let’s get the word out.
Thanks so much Phillip for helping spread the word. I’d love to see as many troops as we can get a package from home and House of Jerky.

I saw an SCI show on TV recently where they were somehow going to send the animal they killed to troops in the Middle East. Not sure how it was going to work, but it seemed like a great idea – to be able to hunt and send a whole animal to all those hunters missing wild game over there.

Thanks Phillip!! I really appreciate you spreading the word.
We don’t have much time left, because this program ends December 5, so we can get the packages to them in time for the Holiday. House of Jerky has been sending care packages to our troops since 2004.
