WHAT A NIGHT HERE AT THE LODGE!!! 🦌❤️

Our sweet Anna has been putting in her time in the tree stand! For the last few years, she has patiently waited for THE buck to step out within arrow range. She’s passed deer that most hunters would have gladly punched a tag on, but Anna knew exactly what she was looking for and what she wanted her FIRST archery buck to be.

She learned her patience and love of hunting from her Dad, and BOY did that patience pay off BIG TIME tonight!!!

We can’t take one bit of credit for where she harvested this Missouri MONARCH! She decided to hunt one of her husband’s stands today, and what a decision that turned out to be! As she put it, she was hunting a farm she acquired on her wedding day! 😂 GRACE LAND!! 💕

We cannot begin to tell you how proud we are of this girl! The patience, determination, and dedication she puts into hunting are something we admire so much. She had a goal, stuck to it, and tonight it all came together!

And did we mention this fella scored 158 5/8”?!?!

FIRST ARCHERY BUCK. MISSOURI MONARCH. ONE HECK OF A NIGHT!!!

CONGRATULATIONS, MRS. JUSTICE!!! We are SO proud of you!!! ❤️🦌

🦌🏹 FREEZER QUEEN SUCCESS!!! 🇺🇸

Help us congratulate American Daughters of Conservation member Phoebe from Tennessee on harvesting her VERY FIRST ARCHERY WHITETAIL! 🎯

Not only did she make a memory that will last a lifetime, but she also harvested a beautiful, mature doe to fill the freezer! That’s what we call a successful hunt! 🥩🙌

Congratulations, Phoebe, on your first archery whitetail! Keep making memories, filling freezers, and showing them how it’s done! 💪🦌
