Welcome to MAking a difference outdoors

Making A Difference Outdoors is not just about hunting, but about creating a positive and transformative experience for the participants. MADO is an accessible and inclusive hunting program created for everyone, regardless of your background or abilities. We believes that hunting is not just a sport, but a way of life that teaches important values such as respect, responsibility, and conservation. We want each participant to feel empowered, confident, and proud of their achievements. We hope that each individual is able to carry these lessons and memories with them for the rest of their lives.

WHAT OUR HUNTERS + FAMILIES HAVE TO SAY

"Bill Manske. We could’ve never imagined God’s plans in bringing this man into the lives of our son, Colton, and ours. With Making A Difference Outdoors, Bill Manske, without even knowing, completely alters the lives of so many special needs families exhibiting goodness, love, selflessness, and literally living in God’s faith with every child and family that he impacts. Bill opened his heart and his life to our family without question, and showed our son that, with God, goodness in people still wins. He welcomed our family into his home and dedicated his personal time to helping our child attain his dream at 12 years old, to harvest a deer, and in turn, gave our son a new friend and mentor for life. We couldn’t imagine our lives without Bill in it, he did more than take our family to help our special needs son have a successful hunt, he opened his heart and made us part of his family. People like Bill are so hard to find, a true loving, giving, kind soul. A man truly living in God’s image and putting so much good and kindness into our world. Bill has taught our little boy and our family so much about love and life and has impacted our lives forever." 

Matt, Steph, and Colton Groenendyk
