Why?
There’s always some sort of level of surprise when I meet someone for the first time and they find out that I love to hunt and fish. Most recently, I met some new people through my dad and after chit chatting for a while one of them made a comment about how he had seenContinue reading “Why?”
Wild Woman Spotlight – January ’22
Meet Layla. She lives in Southwest VA and she has a huge amount of passion for the outdoors! Earlier this month Layla posted a photo collage on one of the women’s hunting groups that I follow showing all of her harvest for 2021.

It has been quite the week on the water! Ice fishing is my absolute favorite outdoor activity and the season is in full swing. I was able to get out with the crew this Sunday on a small body of water in the hill towns. We had 10 plus inches of ice and ended upContinue reading “Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report 01/27/22”

Leave it in the Woods
I think that women are often criticized for making things too emotional. In these male-dominated sports tho, I think we try to hide or mask our emotions. I know I do. We are so afraid of not looking “tough enough” or “capable enough” but I think this hinders us more than it helps. We areContinue reading “Leave it in the Woods”
The Pressure
I stopped in the middle of the trail as the last bit of daylight hung in the air. The darkness seemed to roll in faster now that I had noticed its looming presence. I stopped in the middle of the trail and tried to hold back the tears. For over two weeks I had beenContinue reading “The Pressure”
Wild Woman Spotlight – December
Here’s to 2021. I started Wild Women in the beginning of the year, and although it has grown significantly I will be the first to admit it has been neglected a bit since the 2021 hunting season opened and I was fully wrapped up being in the field. My biggest goals for 2022 are toContinue reading “Wild Woman Spotlight – December”
Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 12/16/21
The fishing has definitely slowed down but Tim still made it out and got some beauties! Tim got out on the Connecticut River the first weekend in December. He said the water temperature was a balmy 36 degrees. The bite was a little slow until he hit a bite window around noon. They boated 16Continue reading “Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 12/16/21”
