As a kid, sitting still while hunting could be a challenge. Not if I knew there was a turkey coming in to where I might get a shot, but when they were far enough away where I thought I could get away with fidgeting. One year my dad put a bright green sticker on myContinue reading “Hunt Safely”

Monday morning kicked off the 2021 turkey season, my personal favorite. My dad and I snuck into the woods at about 4:30 and made our way across the field. We got our decoys set up, and I found a spot to sit. Usually I try to locate the bird in the roost, but the windContinue reading “Sharing the Love for the Woods”

First and foremost, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for reading, sharing, taking the time to respond, and most of all for the love. It’s been just over a month since I started Wild Woman and I see no end in sight, simply opportunity.  I started this project for many reasons, butContinue reading “Wild Woman Spotlight – April”

One summer my dad announced that I was going to camp. I was less than thrilled. Sleep away summer camp wasn’t really a peak of my interest. Dad quickly explained that I wasn’t going to just any camp, I was going to Green Mountain Conservation Camp (GMCC). Once he told me I was going forContinue reading “Green Mountain Conservation Camp”

Missing is a sore subject in my book. I hate missing a shot. Every hunter misses. I guarantee if they tell you otherwise, they’re full of you know what. Missing is a huge part of the sport, and it’s by far probably the hardest thing to get over. I am not talking about a firearmContinue reading ““Sometimes you get em, sometimes you don’t””

Frustrated, I started scrolling through one of the groups I follow on Facebook in hopes of some sort ofContinue reading “What’s a Trout Bum?”

Something I hate to admit, is that I tend to have very boring tackle box contents. Worms, Powerbait, basic hooks, sinkers, and bobbers; a couple older Thomas lures or rooster tails. I have never been good at picking out different tackle for myself. Partly because I don’t really want to pay $7-$10 for a lureContinue reading “Mystery Tackle Box: 1”

Easter being today, I was contemplating not posting. I decided instead to throw a shout out to a special family of mine.  I have a memory of asking my mom for 3 kinds of cereal in one bowl after a weekend “way up north”.  She called a certain someone asking where I’d gotten that idea,Continue reading “Way Up North”

I wasn’t planning on writing about doe tags again, but there was so much feedback I felt it deserved another post.  I wasn’t really expecting the sheer volume of responses and replies that I received, primarily via social media. Nothing could have made me happier, because one of my goals is to open dialogue onContinue reading “Some Responses”
