Member Only Hunts
2021 announced membership hunts
In the past decade we have had some awesome Membership hunts all over the country, for animals such as hogs in Texas and Georgia, black bears in Alaska, Virginia and New Hampshire, elk in Utah, Colorado and Wyoming, turkeys in Virginia, and deer in Ohio, Kentucky, South Dakota, Arizona and Alaska. The PBS is fortunate to have members who are generously hosting these Membership hunts; some are limited to just a handful of PBSers while others can handle a dozen or more PB-Sers. Some of them fill up quickly so you need to plan accordingly. Many of the following hunts are held annually, while others are one-time events. Most are on public land with OTC licenses/tags while others require the application/drawing for certain tags. These hunts are great opportunities to meet your fellow PBS members and to bowhunt areas and/or animals that you might not get to do ordinarily. They could also be great recruiting opportunities for the PBS – if possible, consider bringing along a bowhunter that you think would make a good PBS member. We can always use more of these great hunts – contact Jeff Holchin at jeffreyholchin@gmail.com if you have questions about these hunts or if you are thinking of hosting one yourself.
