About Us

Welcome to Arrows & Antlers! We started out in 1989 as just a few bow hunters looking for bragging rights among ourselves, to see who could get the biggest buck during the bow season.  We are strictly fair chase bow hunters.  However, we couldn’t resist putting a small $25 wager on who would get the biggest buck, winner-take-all, of course!  Well, one thing led to another, and a few more friends wanted in every year.  Now, 35+ years later, we have 100 members (with a waiting list of 60+), an annual banquet with door prizes, multiple sponsors, and a great night with plenty of gourmet wild game, all prepared by chefs Gary Merkes and Steve Johnson.  Oh, and we enjoy a few cocktails while bragging about our great season in the woods.  Or we sit around explaining how we had equipment problems and that’s why we didn’t get that first-place buck!  You get the idea.  All in all, we’re a group of guys who enjoy the hunt, and we enjoy celebrating and sharing memories with each other.  In closing, I would like to thank all my fellow members for making Arrows & Antlers a success. And as always, happy hunting!!!!
