From Solo to Shared Legacy: Why You Should Book Your Hunt Together
Mike had always enjoyed the freedom of going solo—no schedules, no group decisions. But something shifted during those quiet evenings by the firepit. He realized the best memories often begin long before a whitetail ever steps into view. And those moments? They’re even better when you book your hunt with someone you want to share them with. When someone brings their friends on a hunting trip, they’re not just sharing their passion for the outdoors. They’re sharing a piece of themselves. This is what happens when hunters find what they need to achieve their vision. Mike became an advocate of Briarwood not because of what we did, but because of what he was able to accomplish. Seven friends became believers in his recommendation—proof that when you have an experience worth sharing, people you trust will follow your lead. Mike’s story illustrates something we see time and again: when you book your hunt with a place like Briarwood—where the accommodations and service take care of everything—you’re free to fully immerse yourself in the outdoors. You don’t just leave with great stories. You leave inspired to create them with the people who matter most. More Than Just Hunters Welcome Maybe there are people in your life who aren’t hunters, but who you’d love to have experience Briarwood with you. The beauty of what we’ve created on our Ohio property is that it works for everyone who appreciates the outdoors—not just those carrying a bow or rifle. We’ve seen kids too young to sit still in a stand discover the wonder of catching their first fish in one of our stocked ponds. Spouses who prefer the peace and quiet find themselves completely recharged, reading a book on the lodge porch while listening to the sounds of nature. Friends who don’t hunt but are ready to escape the noise of the city and their busy schedules often tell us they never realized how much they needed this kind of hunting retreat. When you bring non-hunters to Briarwood, you’re not asking them to become something they’re not. You’re inviting them into an experience where they can connect with nature—and with you—in their own way. The upscale lodging, thoughtful amenities, and peaceful setting create an environment where everyone can find their own version of restoration. Who do you want to share your Briarwood legacy with? Whether you’re a returning guest or planning your first visit, we’d love to help you create an unforgettable experience. Schedule a Call to get started—one of our team members will reach out to ask a few questions so we can begin planning every detail of your trip, from transportation and dietary needs to accommodating those you want to bring along. After all, if you’ve got someone you want to spend time with, this is the season to do it. Learn more about Hunting at Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Not Just for the Guys.
