A few weeks ago I wrote about Green Mountain Conservation Camp – an absolutely amazing program that I was lucky enough to experience when I was 11. I wasn’t really planning a follow up post just yet, but a gentleman commented that they had attended too: “I attended Vermont’s Conservation Camp back in the 1970sContinue reading “Still True to the Mission”

I was lucky enough to grow up in a home where both of my parents enjoyed hunting and fishing. They always shared that with my brother and I, taking us every chance they got. A big part about being a mom is helping nurture your children’s passions, supporting what they like to do. I amContinue reading “Thanks Mom”

Mystery tackle box number two! This month I decided to try out Karl’s Bait & Tackle Mystery Tackle Box. They are pretty prominent on the search if you just Google “mystery tackle box subscriptions” and they seem to have a pretty good reputation. There were lots of positive reviews on their site and others. Here’s whatContinue reading “Mystery Tackle Box: 2”

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””

I struggled this week as I looked over my list of potential topics. Nothing really jumped out at me. When I mentioned it to my cousin, a fellow blogger, she said “then it’s not their time”. 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?”
