2025 Hunt On! – Reflections from the 2025 Hunt

The winter of 2025 wrapped Merts Hunting Lodge in a blanket of snow, transforming the familiar trails into a quiet, glistening world of wonder. Early mornings were filled with the crunch of frozen ground and the steady rhythm of footsteps heading into the woods. The cold may have tested our endurance, but it also brought with it a renewed sense of challenge — the kind that every true hunter embraces with pride.

Inside the lodge, the fire burned bright and the air buzzed with stories from the day’s adventures. Hunters compared tracks, shared strategies, and enjoyed hearty meals prepared over open flame. Each evening, the laughter grew louder and the friendships deeper, reminding everyone why this tradition continues year after year.

As the final days of the hunt came to a close, the snow fell gently outside — a peaceful farewell to another unforgettable season. The memories made, the lessons learned, and the bonds strengthened will carry us forward until next year’s hunt. Here at Merts Hunting Lodge, every season is more than a story — it’s a celebration of the land, the legacy, and the people who make it all come alive.
