A few weeks ago, I had the amazing pleasure of attending the 2018 Waterfowl Media Hunt in Saskatchewan, Canada. We hunted in the North Battleford area of Saskatchewan, with the fine folks at Northway Outfitters.

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.
Texas Hunts with Remington Outdoor: Gators, Ducks, Hogs, & Fish
Back in September, I had the amazing opportunity to represent Women’s Outdoor News on an epic hunting trip, traveling to Texas with Remington Outdoor Company. The trip was the result of a contest last Christmas — The WON’s 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway — the prize being a 2 to 3 day alligator hunt in Seadrift, Texas, with Castaway Lodge. Our giveaway winner was Melissa, a rising veterinarian from Washington State, and she would meet Remington rep Jessica and me in Texas to begin our adventure.
Upon arrival, we planned to start our search for alligators the following morning. Thanks to Hurricane Harvey’s copious amounts of flooding, our guides had no way of knowing just where those gators would be. We fully anticipated needing the full 3 days for each of us to tag out.
Predator encounter: Leupold + Tikka
Recently, I found myself faced with a “tough” decision. I put “tough” in quotes because it was also quite a delightful decision: I needed to purchase a new rifle. Over the summer, I was partnered with Leupold Optics here on Women’s Outdoor News, and the amazing Leupold team was kind enough to send me a box full of new gear including a scope – the VX-5HD 3-15x44mm CDS-ZL2. (!!!)
summer reds
Its hard to believe the summer has come and gone… But, I can’t lie – fall is my favorite season and I am so ready for it. I wouldn’t want to wish away summer though. After all, you know I love to fish :).
tideline magazine feature: red stag hunt
In the spring of this year, the amazing folks over at Tideline Magazine were kind enough to reach out to me again regarding my red stag hunt in Patagonia in 2016. Rachel Cook, the editor, asked me to write a travel feature – a story about one of my hunting trips, and how to plan a similar excursion. Of course, I happily obliged!
2016 – 2017 duck season video
Just over 115 GB of footage. Nearly 300 photos. And A.LOT. of ducks.
Y’all. It’s finally here.
end of duck season 2017: the finale
It was a great season. From freezing rain to muggy fog, from abundant ring necks to big bull canvasbacks – I’d say we had an excellent run.
What better way to go out than with a bang?
end of duck season 2017: part I
Alright. I’ve made an executive decision on how to get everyone caught up on the end of duck season (now that it’s basically April – what?!). Rather than do our last 4 hunts in individual posts, I am going to do a quick recap of 3 right here, and the 4th immediately after. Thaaaaat way…
the Johnston special
Gotta love teamwork on a good trophy duck.
