Last weekend I was lucky enough to attend the second annual Women’s Crossbow Hunt in New York, where women mentoring women brought eight new hunters into the woods in pursuit of whitetails. When we weren’t learning on the range or sitting in blinds, we spent a lot of time talking about our pasts and howContinue reading “Raised Right; Raised in the Woods”

Crossbow Controversy – This Hunt Changed My Mind
Back in July in Vernon Center, NY a friend of mine at Huntstock approached me and asked if I would be interested in mentoring on an all women’s archery hunt this season. I was elated! When she gave me more details and I found out it was a crossbow hunt, I was immediately very hesitant.Continue reading “Crossbow Controversy – This Hunt Changed My Mind”
Thank You
The 2024 spring turkey season has officially come to a close. After doing some serious scouting and prep, I officially started my season on April 24th with youth day and spent a lot of my time this season mentoring; hunting with mostly green hunters. I may not have had personal success this season, but canContinue reading “Thank You”
Sharing My Joy
When I was younger, there wasn’t a youth day in Massachusetts, or at least none that I can remember. My mom and dad always took me with them out into the woods with them and eventually, when I was big enough and educated enough it was my turn. Pheasants were the first thing I everContinue reading “Sharing My Joy”
Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report:6.8.23
Well it’s that time of the week again, time for the Fishing Report! My brother Karl was lucky enough to get out on the Oxbow with a friend, and landed some bass. He said that they were fishing in the weeds and using a finesse nedrig with water in the mid 60’s. Nelson was onlyContinue reading “Jigs and Bigs Fishing Report:6.8.23”

Katy’s First Deer
There is absolutely nothing like harvesting your first deer. The rush, the adrenaline, the tears. Now, that all still remains the same any time I have harvested any animal, but there is nothing like that of the first. It makes all the hard work, mistakes, ugly tears, and being overtired for days or weeks onContinue reading “Katy’s First Deer”
Wild Woman Spotlight – August 2022
Back in May I was gearing up to go out on a fishing trip out of Boston in search of Striped Bass. We had booked the trip well in advance through a women’s outdoors group, and there were 4 of us slotted to go. Last minute, someone was unable to go due to COVID andContinue reading “Wild Woman Spotlight – August 2022”

My blog has continued to grow, and my favorite part of this is being able to connect with amazing people on social media who share my passion and love for the outdoors. I came across Rachel’s page on Instagram over a year ago, and I absolutely LOVE seeing all of her photos and videos. YouContinue reading “Wild Woman Spotlight – July”
Wild Woman Spotlight – April 2022
It’s insane to believe that April has officially come to an end. The good news is, that means another Wild Woman spotlight! There is NOTHING I love more than when a new woman reaches out wanting to talk about hunting or fishing. Megan reached out to me on FB about a largemouth I caught thisContinue reading “Wild Woman Spotlight – April 2022”
