Can you believe it’s already fall? I feel like I was just writing my paddle board fishing article, reminiscing of 100* days on the water, and all of a sudden we’re staring down the barrel of dove season. Craziness! I know I owe y’all more than a few posts (Scotland, current and upcoming dove hunts, and an all new Portfolio page I’ve been working on), but I have another WON article on deck for you today!
Get excited for Dove Hunting 101: How to Prep Before you Head out for the Hunt.
Happy deer season, friends! We’ve been open for a few weeks now in game zone 3, but just 5 days in zone 4, and I’ve already seen plenty of amazing photos from successful hunts around the interweb. Are you one of the lucky hunters to have bagged a buck in velvet this year? If so, I’m jealous! We’ve still got some time before the season opens on does and, since I bagged such a nice buck last year, I am definitely going to be more fastidious this season if another buck presents himself. But, that doesn’t mean I haven’t been paying attention to the woods juuuuust in case! In my latest article for Women’s Outdoor News, I go over some helpful tips on how you can get the most out of your trail cameras and have a successful deer season as a result!
First of all – happy Friday, friends! Second – WOW. I had no idea it had been so long since I told you about the third installment of our Patagonia red stag adventure. Seriously, where is the time going!? Where did we leave off? Ah yes, we were on the hunt for dad’s stag (which, don’t forget, has since been found).
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.
