Jigs & Bigs Fishing Report: 09/02/21

Hello fishing friends and happy September! The jig heads have been busy this week!  Tim only managed one outing which was his club tournament at Pontoosuc Lake in Pittsfield where the water temperature was 75 degrees..  Tim said that without any pre-fishing, and his last jaunt up there probably 5-6 years ago, he relied onContinue reading “Jigs & Bigs Fishing Report: 09/02/21”

Wild Woman Spotlight – August

Meet Rocky Kent, a Litigation Paralegal from Colorado with pure, raw passion for the outdoors. The first time I saw her name was with this post on Facebook in one of my favorite groups:  I went on my first hunt this past weekend, hog hunting! And it WAS AMAZING! I was the only female atContinue reading “Wild Woman Spotlight – August”

So Many Questions

I don’t think anyone really understands the time,effort, or dedication that is put into hunting and fishing unless they actually do it. Getting up at 3:30 in the morning to go sit in the dark, sometimes shivering in the cold, or sitting around the lake for 8 hours, only to catch a few small fish.Continue reading “So Many Questions”

Constructive Criticism or Killing Enthusiasm?

There has been a little grey cloud following me around this week, as a FB user decided to comment on a couple of my posts in a negative way. First I was told that I am not a writer. I am writing to share the joy that I get from doing what I love withContinue reading “Constructive Criticism or Killing Enthusiasm?”

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”

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”

You hunt, so does that mean you just like to kill?

When people find out that I am an avid hunter, the first thing they think about, after the shock wears off that I am a woman, is the killing. You know, being “out for blood”. I have been asked many times if I hate animals, and my reaction has typically been one of shock orContinue reading “You hunt, so does that mean you just like to kill?”

Introduction

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to read what I have to write. If you had told me a year ago that I would be writing for the public eye, where literally anyone can view what I have to write, I would have laughed in your face. But, here I am!  So what am IContinue reading “Introduction”
