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”

The Ripple Effect
Monday left me feeling a little extra blah. I had tossed my fishing poles and tackle box into my trunk before leaving for work, but didn’t really expect to feel like fishing after my day had ended. Once I left the office that’s all I wanted to do. I wanted to unplug and disconnect. IContinue reading “The Ripple Effect”
Green Mountain Conservation Camp
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”
“Sometimes you get em, sometimes you don’t”
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””
What’s a Trout Bum?
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?”
Mystery Tackle Box: 1
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”
Way Up North
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”
Some Responses
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”
Filling Doe Tags
Anyone who hunts knows that there is some discussion to be had on filling doe tags. I know people who never would pass on a doe if they have the tag, and then I know others who would never shoot a doe, even if they had a tag in their pocket. There are sides toContinue reading “Filling Doe Tags”
Opening the Conversation of Ethics
There is so much to be said about ethics when it comes to hunting and fishing. I want to open the topic of conversation with a short story about where my groundwork comes from. When I was really young, maybe 5 or 6, my dad and mom gave me my first BB gun. We haveContinue reading “Opening the Conversation of Ethics”
