Not a hunting or fishing or travel adventure, but something entirely different. Some of you may know (or have already seen), in fact. I am excited to announce that I have started a stationery company (and Etsy shop), centered on my love of the outdoors – Wilderness Paper Co.
Yes… I know… A few weeks ago, I thought that I might have been too early to find any sheds. I walked and searched miles and miles, from deep in the woods to wide open food plots, only to come up empty handed. I summed it up to the “fact” that bucks in the Lowcountry just hadn’t quite dropped their antlers. I was just early, right?
Anyone else wondering where this chilly weather came from, and what happened to that glorious 70* weekend we had not too long ago? This girl, for sure. Needless to say, the cold weather didn’t stop me from trying my hand as some more shed hunting over the weekend. Despite the 200 mp winds (ok, ok… I’m exaggerating, but only a little) and close to freezing temperatures, I gathered my gear and some warm layers and headed out. I was on a mission, as I have little to show for my shed hunting success this year so far. No pun intended.
At long last! I finally finished the 2014-2015 duck season video. I have to say, it was a pretty good season. From the bull canvas back to fast and furious hunts, I love having this video to relive it all. And, having the photo above from earlier in the season posted by the Outdoor Channel was just the icing on the cake. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Can you believe duck season is almost over? Like, this. weekend. I always have this tug of emotion in the last week or two – I am, on one hand, pretty tired from traveling every weekend plus every Tuesday/Wednesday and look forward to actually sleeping in on a Saturday rather than hitting snooze at 5 am. I know, I know… There are worse problems to have! On the other hand, I know that this time next week, I will be bored, wondering when I will get to hunt again and wondering why I ever even remotely wanted duck season to come to a close even a little bit.
I know… It seems like I let deer season go out with a fizzle, and not with a bang. I did do a fair amount of hunting after the big doe I shot, and had my sights set on ending the season with a really nice buck. My efforts proved to be futile, though, as I saw only does on the remainder of my hunts. Plus, nothing too exciting happened on them, so taking photos/recapping each hunt wasn’t a big priority. You’d have been quite bored, I am sure.
Hi friends! I hope everyone had a happy happy Turkey Day & ate as much delicious food as we did… And had even more turkey sandwiches with the leftovers, naturally… Delish!
Celebrating my 28th with this guy the night before a duck hunt
How about this weather, huh? And how typical is it of good ol’ South Carolina? I had on shorts yesterday and just about need long underwear today. Speaking of chilly weather, a nice little front moved in over the weekend and we were able to do quite a bit of hunting in the newly crisp weather. I sat in the deer stand most of the weekend, and even squeezed in a quick dove hunt on Saturday afternoon for opening day of the second season. I was only in the field for about 45 minutes since I wanted to get in the deer stand a little early, but I shot a few times and managed to knock down 3 doves.
It’s Friday! Who’s excited? I know I am… Aaaand that’s because I have part II of our Belize trip for you today, via video, for a little #tbt #fbf Flash Back Friday. I meant to post this yesterday, but a few technical difficulties really did a number on me. BUT! We are back on track and here it is.
Hi, friends! I hope everyone’s week has gotten off to a good start… Is anyone else already ready for Friday? Like more than usual? I know I am. Why, you ask? This past weekend was filled with activity and quite a bit of hunting. Shocking. I know. I am so predictable. BUT. I am extra fired up for several reasons…
