PVA NATIONAL BASS TRAIL
PVA's second largest sports project is the PVA National Bass Trail. The Bass Trail consists of five tournaments that introduce anglers with disabilities to recreational fishing through a competitive forum.

COLORADO DIVISION OF WILDLIFE
Colorado Division of Wildlife provides free hunting and fishing licenses to all disabled veterans that are 60% or more disabled through the VA. Those desiring a hunting license must attend a hunter safety course prior. Those interested in obtaining an application can contact the CDW by double clicking on the link provided.

Those ineligible for this program can receive a free fishing license through the Social Security Administration. Proof of permanent disability must be provided through doctor's verification. This can also be obtained through the CDW.
