Father’s Day: #PreservetheMoment with GameSaver®

Leave a comment

This post is sponsored by Everywhere Agency on behalf of FoodSaver®; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

As the weather warms up and summer draws closer, many outdoorsmen and women find themselves between hunting seasons. But, that doesn’t mean we aren’t enjoying the fruits of our labor from the previous months. Riverside cookouts and backyard BBQs are in full swing, with everything from fresh fish to venison burgers topping the grill. That also means Father’s Day is just around the corner, bringing with it the joy of reminiscing all of the fun time spent with dear Dad in the outdoors.

How to Hire a Hunting Guide or Outfitter: Boyd’s Hardwood Gun Stocks

Leave a comment

When it comes to planning a hunt, the options are endless. Some hunts require little more than a loose timeline, a packed lunch, and a loaded gun, but others can be much more daunting, even for an experienced hunter. A turkey hunt one county over is a far cry from stalking elk through the Rockies, but if you’ve never done either, you’re still starting from square one.

That’s where hunting guides and hunting outfitters come in – someone else with the knowledge and skill to help close the gap between you and the game you chase.

But, don’t be fooled – the two titles are not mutually exclusive.

Clothing Tips for Hunters Who Want Better Results: Boyd’s Hardwood Gunstocks

Leave a comment

For some, a successful hunt means getting a big buck on the ground, out of the woods, and into the freezer. For others, it means simply getting that big buck in their cross hairs, experiencing the thrill of the hunt whether they pull the trigger or not.

In both scenarios, the hunter has put his or her knowledge and skill to the test, and their efforts paid off in triumph.

The key to a successful hunt starts before you leave the house.

Down to the wire > 49 hours

Question – where the heck did deer season go? I’ve been planning to catch y’all up on all of my hunting adventures this fall, but time has absolutely flown by and I have No. Idea. Where. It. Went. And now its over… As of yesterday – New Year’s Day – our whitetail season is officially closed. [Oh hey Happy New Year, by the way!]

Since I did so much hunting from very beginning of the season, I figured it would be easiest (and shortest) to give you a quick rundown of all of the hunts leading up to my [first] success… What a doozy.

Sportsman’s Box: August

If you’ve been following along on social media you may have noticed that I’ve recently been promoting something called the Sportsman’s Box. I’ve been receiving one monthly since early summer, and recently was lucky enough to become a member of the Sportsman’s Box Field Operative Team! I am super excited to be working with such a great company and so many amazing other field ops in the outdoor industry.

So, what exactly is Sportsman’s Box?

gear review: XTRATUF Riptide Water Shoe

Leave a comment

I recently had the opportunity to review the Riptide performance water shoe by XTRATUF through Women’s Outdoor News, and I was really excited to put them to the test on my paddle board fishing adventures. XTRATUF specializes in waterproof, slip-proof footwear for all conditions, and the Riptide shoe [MSRP $79.99] is designed specifically for activities such as paddle board and kayak fishing. They are made from a breathable airmesh fabric with drainage holes on the sides and a slip-resistant bottom, and a bungee system replaces the laces so you don’t have to worry about them coming untied.

The Women’s Riptide comes in light blue, seen here, and in brown with pink detailing.

weekend recap: turkey hunting with Patriot Hunts

Leave a comment

Hi friends! If you follow along on Instagram or Facebook, you might have seen that I recently had the opportunity and privilege to turkey hunt with the amazing folks at Patriot Hunts this year, and write about our weekend over at Women’s Outdoor News. Ken Barnard, the founder of Patriot Hunts, decided that this year’s hunt would be an all-women’s weekend, with our 2 hunters being Lizzie, a Gold Star Survivor, and Rory, a Purple Heart Recipient. I would guide 1 group, with Rory as my hunter, and Chris Wilson with NWTF would guide the other, with Lizzie behind the barrel. Lizzie is a successful bowhunter, and was familiar with what turkey hunting entails. Rory, on the other hand, had never been turkey hunting before. She would be my hunter, and I was super excited to be a part of her first experience.
