Your best tip for a new hunter? Enjoy the hunt! It isn’t all about the harvest. With patience and dedication the harvest will come, in the mean time enjoy every aspect of just being in the great outdoors and what God created. 

If you could hunt with anyone, who would it be? I just want to continue to be able to hunt with my family for as long as possible, there is absolutely nothing like it.  

What was the last thing your child/husband/boyfriend/hunting buddy did to make you laugh? This is tough, I am blessed with being surrounded by lighthearted family, friends, and co-workers. Every day is something new. My son and I love to send eachother cheesy jokes. “Why do cows have hooves instead of feet? Because they Lactose!

Who taught you to hunt? My parents, my love of hunting began when I was growing up watching both of my parents  hunt and knowing I wanted to have that experience with them. I am blessed to still be making hunting memories with them, and now my children are hunting with all of us too. There is nothing like watching my parents and kids hunt together. 

Who was your favorite teacher and why? I have several and they are the 930 chapter leaders of TWAW Shooting Chapters, I have learned more from these ladies in the last 5 years than I could have ever imagined. I am inspired by them every single day.

Do you believe we need female role models for young girls in our industry? Absolutely! 

How do you train to be prepared for your season? It’s important to always be preparing whether that be for the hunt you want to happen or the self-defense situation that you pray never does. Anything we can do to prepare physically and mentally will help us in that moment when we need to act. I shoot whenever I can, eat well, work out (I really enjoy yoga), and always strive to remember that there is always room to learn more.  [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
