Our Goal
We have three distinct goals to reach with this event. First thing is we want is to raise money towards our goal to donate to local conservation efforts. Second we raise money to throw more events! The third and final goal we have is to get to become acquainted with local passionate hunters!
Come one Come all
The Deer Hunters Dinner is a primary event that promotes some of the values that are most important to us at The Pursuit Element. We invite everyone to come to this event whether you are a diehard deer hunter or anti-hunting
Bring your deer!
We encourage everyone to bring the antlers from their buck from this season regardless of size. We want to see your success, celebrate with you, hear the story, and score it! We know scoring deer might contradict the reason for our movement on the surface, but the score is still a vital part of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. Essentially scoring is a way for us to assign value to older mature deer and let the younger juvenile deer live and breed. Scoring deer is also one of the oldest data collection systems for whitetail deer, dating back over 70 years which provides researchers an incredible scientific baseline used to study wildlife management according to the Boone and Crocket Club. We draw the line when people put down or dismiss other hunters’ accomplishments for shooting, or mounting a deer that doesn’t meet their standards. So yes, we want to know the score of your deer, but for good reason!
