gear review: Girls with Guns Clothing Waterfowl Jacket

I was lucky enough to be put in contact with the ladies at Girls With Guns through Women’s Outdoor News to review some of their gear, the Waterfowl Jacket in particular.

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!

paddle board fishing with the WON

Yes, the time has come – summer on the water! I’ve been fishing a fair amount this summer, and was super excited to get a new Jimmy Styks board at the end of June – just in time for a long Independence Day weekend in Georgetown. You might have seen on Instagram that I recently partnered with Women’s Outdoor News as one of their columnists – woohoo! I was previously on their Featured Blogger list (and was beyond delighted to be included), but now an actual columnist for them??
