Finally, I feel like I am fulfilling all my passions; my sense of adventure through hunting, and my love for journalism in documenting my adventures.
Believe it or not, I was once afraid of posting hunting photos. Yes, ME. I was afraid of the backlash and what my “friends” or acquaintances would think of me. I had grown up in a hunting family, but back in college, had never outwardly shared the lifestyle. Would I be offending people?
In true bowhunter’s fashion, we decided to have a little fun with our gender reveal and use our bows. We placed two balloon in our parent’s garage with a backstop target, one for me to shoot and one for Nick (note: there is only ONE baby though :). At a 3-2-1 countdown, we released our arrows at the paint-filled balloons for the big reveal…
In my younger years, I never imagined that I would become a mom. I imagined traveling, writing about my experiences and living the life of a traditional journalist. If you were to ask me if I could picture myself married with a child on the way, I would have looked at you with wide eyes with an unmistakeable head-shake.
There seems to be a misconception that a "Pro-staff" member is a professional hunter. While that may be the dream, that isn't the reality. There is so much work that happens indoors, to make it possible to get outdoors.
