Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife is currently in the process of trying to reach an agreement for increasing the license fees. Their original proposal showed a direct increase in 2022 with not only increases to the direct hunting and fishing license fees, but also increases in permits and stamps, as well as a fewContinue reading “Use Your Voice, Make Some Noise”

Wild Woman Spotlight – May
Meet Raven. She’s a CNA in Lancaster, PA with an extreme passion for fishing. Her post on a women’s fishing group caught my attention: “I’m 24. Young to basically everybody – especially the population that fishes. So today I was at the stream waiting for the stocking truck to come. It shows and the fishingContinue reading “Wild Woman Spotlight – May”
The F Word
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.

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”
Thanks Mom
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”
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”
