  The weather’s getting warmer…

  As the summer draws near, and the weather is getting warmer.. it’s the perfect time to get outdoors! The turkeys are gobbling, the birds are chirping, the morels are starting to pop up and we have an hour extra of daylight each day.
  I don’t know about you, but I go stir crazy when I am stuck inside too long. My daughter recently came down with strep throat and we were forced indoors for a whole SIX DAYS. Talk about cabin fever!
  There are tons of activities you can do outdoors this time of year. What are some of your favorite things to do in the spring?

  If you know me, you know that my hobbies pretty much consist of hunting and bible journaling. With both, I can include my daughter, and both are great stress-relievers.
  I have been bible journaling for about a year and a half now, but just recently started using an actual journaling bible. I post my entries on my Facebook and Instagram accounts, but I decided that I would start posting them here as well. I post them so that MAYBE someone out there might be dealing with something, or might just need to read what I read that day, and hopefully through my posts, someone is able to find encouragement.
  I will try to follow-up with a post soon about what I use with my bible journaling.

  While, it might not be the smartest idea to hunt in the middle of a thunderstorm, this has always been one of my favorite times to hit the woods. There is just something about the peacefulness the rain brings to the woods. Being out there alone, watching the wildlife can be pretty incredible.
  I am the type of person that likes to walk that fine line between determination and stupidity, I’ll admit.
  A couple Saturdays ago, I hit the woods at the beginning of a thunderstorm, early afternoon. I will say that I was smart enough not to sit in my ladder stand, but instead found a nice little patch of brush, and a tree stump to sit on. I sat about 25 yards from the feeder over a wheat field, and ended up drenched from head to toe.
  Not only did I see around 30 turkeys walking along the field for quite some time, I had a little 7 point hang out with me for a while also. Had my daughter been with me, he would have been great for her first bow kill, but she stayed with her daddy since the weather was icky. He was a little small for me to shoot, but it was great watching him for so long.
  I also had the privelege to test out some new potential products for upcoming sportsman’s boxes and I have to say that I was VERY impressed!
  My favorite part of bowhunting is drawing the animals in so close. There is something really cool about sitting within 20 yards of a whitetail deer, especially when you are able to watch them from that distance for an extended period of time.
  How many of you like to hunt in the rain?

  But within the hunting industry itself this idea of female hunters is actually exploding. Female hunters are showing up on more shows, magazines and social media feeds than ever before. Some of these females are representing the industry and females in a negative light. Giving the haters…
