I think that women are often criticized for making things too emotional. In these male-dominated sports tho, I think we try to hide or mask our emotions. I know I do. We are so afraid of not looking “tough enough” or “capable enough” but I think this hinders us more than it helps. We areContinue reading “Leave it in the Woods”

The Pressure
I stopped in the middle of the trail as the last bit of daylight hung in the air. The darkness seemed to roll in faster now that I had noticed its looming presence. I stopped in the middle of the trail and tried to hold back the tears. For over two weeks I had beenContinue reading “The Pressure”
Wild Woman Spotlight – December
Here’s to 2021. I started Wild Women in the beginning of the year, and although it has grown significantly I will be the first to admit it has been neglected a bit since the 2021 hunting season opened and I was fully wrapped up being in the field. My biggest goals for 2022 are toContinue reading “Wild Woman Spotlight – December”

Heather Hazelbaker added a new member post on one of my favorite female hunting pages back in August, along with some gorgeous pictures.

Get Out of the Bubble
It’s no secret that I dislike change, but if you’ve been following my posts you may remember that I have been trying to break out of my comfort zone over the last few months, despite my ever growing list of “what ifs” and fears. I had been planning on spending the long weekend Way UpContinue reading “Get Out of the Bubble”

Wild Woman Spotlight – September
It was April when I reached out to Tara to see if she would be interested in participating in my spotlight post. She had posted on one of the women’s fishing pages about how fishing had saved her life by keeping her active and by giving her some new perspectives in life. When I reachedContinue reading “Wild Woman Spotlight – September”

Not Being Perfect Doesn’t Mean You’re a Failure
In my efforts to find inspiration for writing, new channels to network, and just find content that I enjoy, I recently started listening to a few different podcasts. Some of my personal favorites, all of which you should check out, are Jigs & Bigs, Mindful Hunter, and most recently Her Inspired Journey, featuring Hannah Marcom.Continue reading “Not Being Perfect Doesn’t Mean You’re a Failure”
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..
