2025 Banquet Special Guest
Laramy “Sasquatch” Miller
March 21-23, 2025

In a few short weeks, we will celebrate our 45th annual awards banquet.  Join us for amazing seminars, shoot a round or two on the range (indoor and outdoor) and bid on that hunt you’ve had your eye on at the live auction.  We hope to see you there!

The West Virginia Bowhunters Association welcomes Laramy “Sasquatch” Miller as our guest speaker for the 45th Annual Awards Banquet.  Laramy is, as his new show on the Sportsman’s Channel is titled, “The Last of a Breed”. He was also the host on a long-running show on the Outdoor Channel titled “Sasquatch Mountain Man”. Laramy forges his own path and thrives in the wilderness using the same tools and techniques as the Old West mountain men. As an accomplished big game hunter and trapper of many species, he chooses to do things the hard way preferring to use primitive methods like longbow and muzzleloader to hunt remote wilderness areas. His seminar and keynote address should be very entertaining.

The WVBA looks forward to your visit with us!
