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.
