And With That, the 2022 Season Comes to an End
It’s been such a wild year for me, and I can’t believe how much my life has changed (for the better!). Here are just a few highlights!
Breaking the Pattern
A tiny knot of uncertainty curled in my stomach as we neared the gray stand. I had passed on a potentially legal buck the night before and a legal doe hoping to see something this morning.

The Rain and the Rut
Because of my work and ballet schedule, this would be my only chance to hunt at the family ranch this fall. I felt my time slipping away as the rain pelted the roof even harder.

Catching Reds with Captain Jack
My father-in-law, Captain Jack, had invited me to go fishing today for some red fish in his super secret spot and I was excited to get back on the water. Of all the saltwater inshore fish, red fish (or red drum) are some of the most prized for their size, fight, and flaky fillets.
