We just completed our last scheduled Edible & Medicinal Plants Walk for 2025. But……you can have your own private class or private group class. Email us at info@pikedantler.com and let us know when you’d like us to host a class for you.
This isn’t just a walk in the woods — it’s a hands-on experience.
Learn to confidently identify, harvest, and use wild edible and medicinal plants.
Whether you’re new or building real skill, this class delivers practical knowledge you’ll remember.
We’ll explore 45 plant-rich acres and leave with a deeper connection to the land — and how to feed and heal from it.

You will also go go home with 2-5 pounds of quality aged venison.

The Piked Antler Project classes are physically active but intentionally paced for learning and stamina. You'll be on your feet most of the day in all three courses, with structured breaks built in. Edible Plants and Deer Hunting 101 are all-day, on-foot classes with breaks every 45 minutes to reset your body and focus. How to Process Deer is more flexible—sit, snack, and hydrate as needed while staying hands-on and engaged. Expect movement, not exhaustion.

LOCAL VETERAN OWNED BUSINESSES THAT WE SUPPORT AND WHO SUPPORT US.
Whether you’re surviving in the forest, the battle field, PTSD or just life, we all need each other at some point. The Warrior Clan and Mountain Man Worx are two local and Veteran owned companies that share a similar mission: To Help, Teach and Protect our community members.
All of us spent time overseas while in the U.S. Military fighting for our country. When we came home, we decided to keep the mission vision going. We all love helping our community members through counsel and teaching, and that is what we do.
