Perhaps one of the most common responses i get when people find out that i hunt is “how could you kill an animal?” or some variation of that. i would imagine that most hunters have also had this experience, i recently read an article about the dynamic relationship between a woman’s role as a “life […]
In my previous blogs I have expressed that my local archery shop has been the source of my frustration since getting into bow hunting. Things such as not having anything in stock, treating women and kids negatively, over charging for products, having bad customer service and providing bad advice are not what a bow shop […]
There is no experience more primal, isolating, and alone than hunting. i think it is the silence and the stillness that set it apart from other solitary activities. It is a feeling unlike any other to be so quiet and still, every part of our lives today requires us to be the opposite. – At […]
Bow hunting is an extremely fun adventure but can become problematic if safety is the last thing on your mind. There is a lot to remember when it comes to bow hunting but practicing good safety should never be forgotten and is something that should be practiced enough so it becomes second nature. One of […]

The nature of hunting these animals often involves spending a lot of time sitting, watching and waiting, usually in the snow or mud where it can be a real challenge to keep my bow or rifle clean […]
Cowpies and Coyotes Spring turkey season is over and deer season is still a few months off. So what’s a huntress to do to satisfy her need to get outside and maybe shoot something? Well, this past weekend, my husband and I decided to take our bows out to an area where we had done […]
I’ve always been a do-it-yourself kind of girl. I credit that largely to my parents; I can’t recall a single time when they had someone else do something they could do themselves.
