Trophy Whitetail Deer

Nestled away in Logan County is a great piece of heaven known as Briarwood Sporting Club. They offer the discriminating outdoorsman a relaxing, natural environment to get away from it all. If you enjoy fishing, hunting or simply immersing yourself in a stunning natural setting, then you've come to the right place. With our current raffle, let Briarwood play host for a leisurely and memorable day.

For over 30 years, Briarwood has been a "slice of wilderness" in central Ohio, embracing a relaxed and casual atmosphere of soothing freshwater and breathtaking vistas. With a majestic landmass covered with numerous lakes and trout streams, Briarwood is considered to be the largest private fishing resort east of the Mississippi. Their large artisan springs from the headwaters of one of Ohio's best trout fishing waterways, the Mad River, offer some of the finest fishing in the country for Brook, Brown, Golden and Rainbow trout. With 125 acres of lakes, their waters are the deepest in Ohio, abundant with Small and Largemouth Bass, Walleye, Perch and Tiger Musky.

Briarwood has opened up their preserve to trophy whitetail deer hunting! On one of their guided whitetail hunts, one can expect to see several whitetail in excess of 200" and will have the opportunity to harvest a "buck of a lifetime".

Our newest raffle will allow you to come see for yourself how serene wilderness combined with excellent fishing and hunting will make your visit to Briarwood a unique and memorable experience.

With only a few tickets left, we will draw one lucky winner on Wednesday, November 30th at 6:00 in the evening. Tickets are just $10 each or three for $20 and we're only selling a selected number of tickets. The winner will receive a one-day hunt to Briarwood Sporting Club for a managed buck up to 149". The hunt includes meals, beverages, guide and deer preparation valued over $2500. The hunter can choose to harvest with a rifle, muzzle loader or bow and must be taken with in this year.
The count down is on to draw a winner - if you're feeling lucky, there's still time to join in! Call or stop into Indian Lake Outfitters for more details!

Gorilla Sacks, Indian Lake Outfitters & Recycled Billboards!

Gorilla Sacks, Indian Lake Outfitters and Recycled Billboards - that's a mental image right? GOOD! Because we want you to have the newest "go-green" image with one of the coolest recycled billboard sacks around, available at...you guessed it - Indian Lake Outfitters!

This awesome concept was born by Gorilla Sacks but brought to you locally from the team at ComStor Outdoor. Each Gorilla Sack is made from a recycled billboard vinyl. These are the same billboards you see along the highway throughout Logan and surrounding counties. Each pattern piece is hand cut to create a bag that doubles as a piece of art! Therefore, every Gorilla Sack is one-of-a-kind. You´ll be the only one with this exact bag.

All of ComStor Outdoor's billboard vinyl is made to be resilient through all weather conditions, so it´s tough and waterproof. The durable vinyl is tear resistant, UV protected and will not wear out. Therefore, you can expect your Gorilla Sack to be gorilla tough!

At Indian Lake Outfitters, you can snag lots of great Gorilla Gear styles including the every popular Messenger, the sturdy Giant Market, Classic and Modern Tote or one of our fav's, the Day Tripper. We even have dog collars for Fido!

2011 Willard O'Brien Youth Pheasant Hunt

Behold, the Annual Williard O'Brien Memorial Youth Pheasant Hunt sponsored by the Logan County Pheasants Forever Chapter #285, Logan County Whitetails Unlimited, Logan County Fish & Game and Indian Lake Outfitters.

Pheasants Forever is a non-profit conservation organization, dedicated to the preservation and restoration of wildlife habitat. PF believes that the pheasant and all wildlife can be appreciated and admired by hunters and non-hunters alike. Located in the heart of Logan County, the Logan County Fish & Game offers 109 acres of ample opportunities for sportsmen and women to enjoy their favorite fishing and shooting sports. Whitetails Unlimited strongly endorse the idea and practice that those who choose to hunt should do so in a safe, legal, moral and ethical manner, always making an effort to conserve and maintain our natural resources. While the ethical hunter is a conservationist, and can actually improve the conditions for those who follow, the unethical hunter can destroy not only the image of outdoorsmen but also the environment, thereby depriving future generations of hunters and non-hunters the beauties of nature that we can experience today.

Recognizing the need to provide young hunters with the appropriate hunting educational opportunities, the Logan County Pheasants Forever Chapter, the Fish & Game Club and the Logan County Whitetails Unlimited is presenting the 2011 YOUTH PHEASANT HUNT on Saturday, October 29, 2011.


The Youth Pheasant Hunt, which will be conducted in a morning hunting session, will expose the young hunter to all elements of an upland bird hunt. The participants will meet at the Logan County Fish & Game to discuss hunting safety and ethics. After this short meeting, the participants will be given the chance to warm up their shooting skills on the trap range. Following a brief shooting and instruction session, each hunter will meet with their guides and caravan to the hunting sites. The hunt will last one to two hours, or until each participant has reached his or her limit, whichever occurs first. After the hunt is completed, the hunting party will return to the Fish & Game for participants to share stories and photos and receive hands-on demonstrations on how to clean their birds.

Lunch will be provided to both hunters and their guardians. Over the lunch period, the participants will be introduced to the Fish & Game Club, Pheasants Forever and Whitetails Unlimited at the national and local levels. Door prizes will be drawn and recognition of volunteers and landowners made.

Youth Pheasant Hunt Participants must be age 10 through 17, have a valid 2011-2012 Ohio Youth Hunting License and be accompanied by a non-hunting adult. To obtain an Ohio Youth Hunting License, one must first attend and pass a Hunter Education Course. For course information, please contact the ODNR at 1-800-WILDLIFE. Ideally, the participant will be accompanied by a parent, relative, or close friend who is a licensed and experienced hunter. If such an adult is not available, the young hunter will be paired up with a Mentor who is an experienced hunter. Non-hunting parents are encouraged to participate in all aspects of the training and the hunt.

If you have a son or daughter, or know of any young boys or girls who would like to participate in the Youth Pheasant Hunt, please have them complete an application available from Indian Lake Outfitters at 937.842.1934. Spaces are limited with first time hunters being given priority. The hunt will be limited to approximately 30 youths.
