2025 Prizes: Three Legends Ranch Ladies-Only Learn-to-Hunt Experience Packages

This four-day hunting experience is designed to introduce women to the art of hunting in a supportive and encouraging environment. Each winner and her guest will receive instruction and hands-on training in hunter safety (for both bow and gun), then have the opportunity to hunt and harvest a doe whitetail deer. This field-to-table experience teaches women how to field dress, skin and process their deer, and provides demonstrations in delicious and creative venison cookery.

The Learn-to-Hunt Experience will take place on the famous Legends Ranch in Bitely, Michigan, from Monday, December 1st through Thursday, December 4, 2025. These all-inclusive packages feature one guide for each pair of hunters, a tour of The Wildlife Center at the Legends Ranch, double occupancy accommodations in the luxurious lodge, all classes, a Michigan Hunter Education certificate and hunting license, demonstrations, double-occupancy accommodations, and two whitetail does (one for each winner and one for her guest).

Participation is limited to women and girls. Participants may bring their own rifles and ammunition or use a ranch firearm and ammunition at no charge. Participants may upgrade for trophy bucks at regular rates (contact Legends Ranch at 231-745-8000 for pricing) but cannot add additional days.

Winners must confirm attendance by October 2025. No postponements are possible. No-shows forfeit their prize. Winners who cannot attend may gift their package to another woman.

Tips and gratuities ($300-$500 per guest) are not included. Airfare is not included. Guests may fly into Grand Rapids Gerald Ford Airport. Ranch provides shuttle transportation from hotels or from the airport around 11 a.m. the first day and around 11 a.m. the last day.
