Overview

Get in touch with your pre-civilization roots (and berries) by participating in the Hunter/Gatherer Contest. We want to see dressed deer, gathered nuts, fresh fish, and local edible plants. Show us where you got them, what you did with them, and how we can follow your lead. We want to see everything from roadkill to venison carpaccio. How to differentiate between poisonous fruits and delicious natural snacks. Show us your contemporary hunting and gathering skills to win a GoPro!
