Last week I wrote about how just over a year ago, I started to find my way again after being stuck in a rut, for far too long. I cannot express enough how much reconnecting with what I love to do has had such a positive effect on my life, but even with all theContinue reading “The F Word”

Share the Joy
I have been surrounded by hunting and fishing since before I was born. My mom shot a deer when she was pregnant with me in the fall of 92. Seventeen years later, in the same spot, I shot my first buck. My parents used to take me out in a baby backpack when they wouldContinue reading “Share the Joy”
Let’s Eat Some Turkey
Massachusetts turkey season is winding down, with an end date of Saturday, May 22nd. To say it’s been eventful would be an understatement. Between my dad, brother, and I we have 4 birds. Something I have noticed when I talk to other hunters: we are all very eager to share our stories about how toContinue reading “Let’s Eat Some Turkey”
Fuel Your Fire
It’s no secret that the pandemic has turned people’s lives upside down around the world, but I wanted to share how it inadvertently helped me reconnect to what I love to do. Pre-pandemic, fall of 2019: I was living in upstate New York with none of my family nearby, and recently out of a badContinue reading “Fuel Your Fire”
Still True to the Mission
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”

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”
Hunt Safely
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”
Sharing the Love for the Woods
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”
