For the past four years, hunting brands, content creators, and everyday hunters have gathered in early August at Wildwood Farm, in Westminster, Mass. for a weekend of celebrating the outdoor lifestyle, especially deer hunting.
The festival, held Aug. 8-10, has seen its share of changes throughout the years as the industry develops. Trends shift, content teams come and go, experts rise and then fade away, but the thread that keeps folks coming back year after year is the same: to connect with other hunters in a fun, laid-back atmosphere.

Anyone who has spent much time hunting or shed hunting knows that antlers come in a variety of shapes, sizes, textures, patterns, and shades. Each set is unique. Even each antler is unique.
Antler jewelry artist Krista Matteson, of Otsego County, N.Y., showcases that uniqueness in one-of-a-kind jewelry, where each piece is meticulously and thoughtfully designed.
