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.

You can't simply aim and fire like a scoped rifle. Once you are sighted in, you have to shoot your bow enough that it feels natural. Do the same exact thing every. single. time...
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.
