Some Healthy Competition

Sibling rivalry. It’s a thing, we all know it. My brother Karl is almost 6 years younger than I am, and I will never forget how upset I was when he was finally old enough to join us on hunting and fishing outings. Once he started joining, I knew that meant he’d be tagging alongContinue reading “Some Healthy Competition”

Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 07/01/21

Even in this excessive heat and humidity our Jig Heads were able to get out this week for some fishing! Nelson’s on a family vacation down in North Carolina, but don’t think that’s stopped him from fishing. He’s been shark fishing. He reported the fishing was tough the first few days because of the waterContinue reading “Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 07/01/21”

To My Tribe

I can’t really describe the feeling behind a successful hunt. I could try, but I don’t think I would be able to do it justice. There are so many emotions wrapped in the adrenaline that consumes me in the woods after harvesting an animal. The first thing that I want to do is tell everyone.Continue reading “To My Tribe”

Wild Woman Spotlight -June

This month’s Wild Woman Spotlight is a lovely lady from Oakwood, Ontario named Toni Cooper. Back in the spring she posted a picture on IG of her with some beautiful turkeys that caught my eye. Part of her post that really moved me was what she wrote about the people she hunts with. I amContinue reading “Wild Woman Spotlight -June”

Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 06/24/21

Happy Thursday! We are officially into our last full week of June which is so hard to believe! This week’s report is full of great stuff from the Jig Heads so let’s just dive right in. Andy fished Big Pond in Otis reporting the water temps 68-70 degrees. He was able to pick up someContinue reading “Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 06/24/21”

So Many Questions

I don’t think anyone really understands the time,effort, or dedication that is put into hunting and fishing unless they actually do it. Getting up at 3:30 in the morning to go sit in the dark, sometimes shivering in the cold, or sitting around the lake for 8 hours, only to catch a few small fish.Continue reading “So Many Questions”

Dear Dad

It’s been over a week since I have really written anything, and I can’t explain why other than I just needed a breather. Allowing myself that break and just to enjoy the things I love in the moment was very cathartic, not to mention much needed, so I decided not to beat myself up overContinue reading “Dear Dad”

Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 06/17/21

Everyone, myself included, seems to be busy with various summer projects and activities. That didn’t stop these guys from getting out on the water. It was another great week of fishing reported from our Jig Heads! Andy hit Walker Pond at Wells State Park last weekend. He reported water temperatures 74-76 degrees and although nothingContinue reading “Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 06/17/21”

Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 06/10/21

Here we are, another week down, and lots of great fishing! In a week we have seen a pretty big change in the weather, with what feels like summer now in full swing. I was unable to get out at all this week, but our Jig Heads have been busy! Andy went out last SaturdayContinue reading “Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report: 06/10/21”

Constructive Criticism or Killing Enthusiasm?

There has been a little grey cloud following me around this week, as a FB user decided to comment on a couple of my posts in a negative way. First I was told that I am not a writer. I am writing to share the joy that I get from doing what I love withContinue reading “Constructive Criticism or Killing Enthusiasm?”
