Recently I was lucky enough to be contacted by Ashley McGee, a freelance writer for the Post & Courier, about my outdoor travel experiences. Her story – to be published in Tideline Magazine, would focus on Lowcountry residents who travel outside of the state to hunt and/or fish, and I was thrilled to be a part of it!
The day has arrived – it’s time for you to learn about “gaucho turbo.”
Happy Tuesday, friends! I hope everyone had a delightful weekend.
I’m taking a quick break in the Patagonia posts to bring you something entirely new. A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to do an interview with Jim Reynolds, of Jim Reynolds Outdoors. He found Bright Side Outdoors through Women’s Outdoor News, and reached out to me to do an interview for his radio show. Pretty neat stuff, huh? Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity!
You didn’t think the Patagonia adventure ended with my red stag did you? Oh no, that was just day one!
I had the amazing opportunity to fly south last week, making my way back to Argentina for another hunting adventure. But, dove was not what we were after. Oh no, not this time. What, you ask, would lure us so far from home? The elusive free range red stag of the Andes.
It. Was. Insane.
At long, long last, friends – it’s here! The Bright Side Outdoors 2015 – 2016 Duck Season Video, recapping all of our duck hunting adventures from November to January.
I’m not sure if my shooting has improved since last season, or if I just happened to catch more shots on film this time, but this one is a little more “actual duck hunting” and a little less “hunters going duck hunting,” if that makes any sense… In other words, get ready to see some ducks fall, and dogs retrieve!
Well, it is officially shed hunting season!
I always get so excited before this time of year, whether I end up finding – anything or not – and for the past two weekends, that’s what I’ve done. I’ve put in miles and miles of time in the woods hoping to stumble across a little (or big) piece of the elusive whitetail’s fallen horns.
This time flying by for anyone else? I can’t believe it’s already almost mid February! Today we are throwing it back to the very last weekend of duck season – from Wednesday to Sunday I hunted three times, for approximately 14 or so hours in the duck blind. We had some slow moments with zero ducks in sight, and we had some crazy ones with dozens upon dozens of ducks diving in right on top of us. Needless to say, it was a great weekend to end the season.
[Note: This post was supposed to go up last Friday, but was delayed due to some epic technical issues… All fixed, now!]
This weekend. This weekend marks the end of duck season. And what a duck season it has been! I have two hunts, maybe three left, and plan on getting the goody out of each one! We had some slow times thanks to an (unusually) balmy winter, but right into January the cold weather finally arrived. My next two hunts were in some chilly, chilly weather, and they were… Awesome.
Can you believe we are almost halfway through January? And that there are just a few short weeks left of duck season? I know! I feel like it just started. That’s probably also why I am just now posting about our post-New Year’s hunting (at least that’s my excuse). I kept thinking it was “just last weekend” but that’s clearly not the case!
