Hi, I am Sandie and I am a woman who loves to spend time with her family and friends in the woods, at the lake, and by a campfire. I have been around hunting, fishing, and the great outdoors, since the day I met my husband over twenty-five years ago. I have enjoyed our priceless memories of hunting and fishing together, but I decided to come out from behind the scenes and give the boys a run for their money. In 2016, I got my first buck. It was a life changing experience. I have so much respect for God's Country and just want to continue to enjoy all it has to offer . I truly love being outdoors hiking , hunting , fishing , camping , or hanging out and watching wildlife . I feel so in my element and at peace .

My love for the outdoors started at a very young age. I've been hunting since I was 4 years old. My dad would take me with him to the deer stands and I would sit with him and take it all in, or sleep on the floor some of the time. I still remember I must have been around the age of 6 or 7 and my dad woke me up in the stand all excited because he just witnessed a buck fight happening. I shot up just as excited to be able to share that moment. My parents bought our deer lease almost 30 years ago in west Texas, so that's where we would hunt the majority of the time. We still have that property and it remains my favorite place in the world. My parents also live on 140 acres in east Texas and it's also a good piece of hunting land that I escape to any chance I get. I shot my first management buck when I was 14. A hunter can never forget the first time that rush of excitement and adrenaline runs over your whole body. The thought of how proud my dad was of me and how excited he was about me harvesting my first buck still brings a tear to my eye. I have him to thank for my immense love of the outdoors. He (along with my older brother) taught me everything I know about hunting/fishing. It's in my blood. Being outdoors hunting or fishing or whatever I happen to be doing is the one thing that sets me free.
It's quite literally my saving grace. Being an outdoorswoman is the best part of me. I can be 100% who I am and for once I can just breathe. I can't find peace like this anywhere else besides the outdoors, nor would I want to.

I have been camping, hiking, and backpacking since I was a child, rock climbing since I was in college, and started hunting through a ladies mentored program with Missouri Department of Conservation ar the spry age of 40! I fell in love and hunt every given opportunity, including nearly every weekend of archery and rifle deer season while undergoing chemo this year :) I just had a mastectomy, so I'm out of the game for at least 4 weeks as I heal.

I was born and raised in Texas, although I had a couple of quick stints in New Mexico and Arizona as a kid. I’m truly just a normal, city girl who became a little outdoorsy when I started hunting with my husband. Most importantly though, I’m a mom of two kids, wife, daughter, business owner and the friend who you’d meet for a glass of wine or beer on a warm summer day.

I didn’t grow up hunting and I definitely have never been a tomboy or outdoorsy girl. Although I lived on a couple of ranches as a young kid, I’ve been a city girl most of my life. Maybe those younger years are where the seeds were planted for my love of the outdoors.

I started hunting because I fell in love with a true outdoorsman. I learned very quickly that he was going to hunt with or without me, so I figured, if you can’t beat ‘em, you better join ‘em. And, while my hunting journey started because I wanted to connect with my husband, I ended up finding myself throughout the pursuit.

I’m a female hunter, conservationist, and enthusiast for all things outdoor. I hunt to conserve our land and animal populations put food on my family’s table. I spend time with my family outdoors and urge all women to get outside.

I have always loved the outdoors, but started hunting and fishing when I met my husband 23 years ago. We do everything together, and he has been a great teacher. Since he gave me the confidence to brave the outdoors safely and alone, I have been hooked. Whether it's stalking a hoss of a whitetail, glassing for a gator, or pitching a tent in the middle of nowhere with nothing but stars and fireflies for light, outdoors is my favorite place to be. I love slipping out into the dark of the early morning, climbing into my stand, and watching the woods come alive as the sun rises. Together we have passed the passion for the outdoors on to our four children and, one day, hopefully to our two grandchildren too!

My now husband introduced me to hunting. I would listen to his stories about how his Dad taught him to hunt. I see the joy and pride in his eyes when he talked about all those trips him and his Dad made. I finally got a hunting license and we were in the woods. The day of my first hunt was exciting. I was late afternoon he and I were in the shoot box patiently waiting. When my husband heard the noise and said there he is. My heart started pounding and at first I didn’t want to do it. But then I took the muzzle loader heart still pounding aimed and waited for him to step out front behind the tree. As soon as he took two steps I lined up the shot and pulled the trigger. I put the muzzle loader down and cried. I couldn’t believe what I had just done. We have it a few minutes and then got down out of the tree and found him about 40 yards from where I had shot him.

Too see the happiness in my husbands eyes made the whole day worth it. He was a spike. He then showed me how to gut the deer and he gave me my blood stripes for killing my first deer. We continue to hunt and this year I’m going turkey hunting. We also goose hunt and have a great time.

My father introduce me to the outdoors at a young age of 4, since than I killed

a 4 point buck
a 24.5lb turkey with 10.5" beard, 1.5" spurs
a 250lb wild boar and button buck in Georgia
a 7 point 250lb buck with 25" neck in Maryland

Here is my story of my wild boar hunt.

It's 5:37 PM on Thursday September 19, 2019 and the truck was loaded up and ready to go. My dad and I were off on our long journey to Augusta, Georgia. It was a 10 hour long drive with no stops but there was no way we were going the whole 10 hours without stopping. We arrived at the spot where we were meeting Mr.TJ at 9:13 AM. Once he got there, we followed him to where we would be staying. When we got to where we were staying, I saw a bunch of RV's and they said we would be staying in those. I was excited because I had never stayed in one before. I thought we were spending that day to get to know everybody and hang out with them but something very special came up.

I was offered a special hog hunt about an hour from where we were staying so that evening we packed up the truck and headed that way. When we got there we pulled into an open field with some trees behind it. There was this big van with cameras on it out in the field that I kept wondering about. Once we got out the truck we met the person who would be taking us hunting and Mr. Bryan who was apart of Holy Southern Outdoors with Mr.TJ. He took us over to his van and opened it up, there was a lot of gear in there. He helped me get the gun ready and we took it for a little target practice back in the field. At first I was very nervous to shoot the gun because I didn't know if/how it would kick and how loud it would be so I had my dad shoot it first. Then we all loaded up into the van and started driving to the fields. Inside the van we could see what the thermal imaging cameras on the outside could see so we could tell if there was anything out in the fields. We checked many fields and saw many deer and coyotes but no hogs. We were all getting tired for the night when we approached the last field. Nobody could believe it. There was 1 hog in the last field. We all got out the van and stalked up on the hog about 250 yards in a peanut field. I had a 30 round magazine that I was told to unload but when it came down to it 1 shot was all it took for me to drop that hog. At about 12:00 in the morning I had shot my first hog ever in Georgia. We took our photos, gutted and butchered the hog and then packed up and headed back to the RV site. Later on that morning at about 4 AM I had to wake up to go deer hunting. We got all of our stuff and put it in the Razor. We drove the Razor about ¾ of the way to the spot and then unloaded and walked to the tree stands. My dad and I sat in a two man seater while Mr.TJ sat in a climber. All morning we hadn't seen any deer so we headed back to the site and ate some of the most amazing breakfast I ever had. Then we hung out with some of the other guys I had never met, Sam and Zack. Once the afternoon approached we all prayed together and then went to our evening hunting spots. Nobody had seen anything for a couple of hours when 2 deer came close to the tree Mr.TJ, my dad, and I were sitting under. We were positive that the doe standing in front of us saw us so we didn't want to move. It kept stomping its feet and we were in a stare off. Finally Mr.TJ told me to let the arrow fly at the deer at 10 yards. The deer took a 360 and ran into a patch of woods. While we were waiting to give the deer some time, we called everyone to tell them and they were ecstatic, especially Sam. He had also just shot a doe but it was his first bow kill ever so it was very exciting. First we took the Razor and went and got Sam and his deer. On the way back to where my deer had ran into the woods we picked up Mr. Bryan and Zach too. Mr.TJ told me I had to track my own deer and I was kind of excited and kind of nervous because I had never done it on my own before. I found the first spot of blood and then I was on it and for the spots where I got stuck they were all there to help me. When we finally found the deer we went Facebook Live so everyone back home in Maryland could see. When we went to go take picture we felt 2 little knots on the deer's head and we realized it wasn't a doe, it was a button buck. We then went back to the site and called in both deer and gutted and butchered our deer. Afterwards we cleaned up and made dinner and hung out. I was having so much fun that time slipped away and it was time for bed because we had to leave the next morning. We all went to sleep in our RV's as the morning was coming upon us. When we woke up we had one last meal together and took our last pictures of the hunt before we began our journey back to Maryland. We all said our goodbyes and gave our hugs and at 8:56 AM our truck was loaded up and we were off. Maryland here comes one of the best hunters, you've ever seen . That was the most exhilarating hunting experience ever and I know one thing, I will never forget it.

My name is Christina and I am a 34 year old mom of two, wife, and boss for my own company. My husband and I recently purchased our dream home in south central Pa on just under 10 acres of land. I grew up in MD where my mom introduced me to camping. Now, it wasn't true camping per say as we camped at the local fairground during the fair as my mom had a booth there selling crafts. But to a child it was the most awesome thing in the world. I love hunting and fishing as well. I can remember questioning my dad when he would come home from pheasant hunts what the birds were and why he shot them. I also remember crying when he told me he hunted deer. (Hey, i was young and Bambi was my favorite movie, lol.) Years later my dad introduced me to hunting. We had moved to a farm and we needed rabbit control, which became one of my chores. So every night i sat and waited for bunny foo foo to hop into the garden to try and eat all the veggies we planted. After a couple years of standing guard over our garden, i asked about deer hunting. I really wanted to go. So, my dad put me into the local hunters safety course.

That year was my first year hunting, and I can remember the excitement of bagging my first deer. My dad and I were sitting in a stand when a group of 6 doe came to about 30 yards from us. My dad whispered to pick out one of the bigger does and aim, then breath in and slowing pull the trigger as i exhaled. The jolt from the rifle as i pulled the trigger knocked my hat (an Elmer Fudd hat lol) down over my face so i couldn't see my doe. As i ripped the hat off my head and asked my dad where my deer was, he replied with, "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I still need to shoot one". So i bit my lips in anticipation. He shot and then turned to me. I asked where my deer was. He pointed to where i shot. And there she lay, right where i shot her. A perfect heart shot. My dad to this day still grumbles as his doe ran about 50 yards and mine dropped. Oh and i picked the biggest doe of the herd lol. Now, as an adult, i am still working on collecting my first buck. I shot one last archery, but was never able to find it after 3 days of searching. Now with the new house and land, i have been keeping track of movement, feed routines, and learning the deer on our property.

There are two shooters on my list for this year. I hope they stick around. I also grew up fishing, ponds mostly and once i got older salt water when we would go on vacation. Personally i prefer salt water fishing but i don't mind fresh water from time to time. I really want to try fishing for Salmon one day. I also want to hunt elk. I am super excited to share my love for hunting, fishing, and camping with my children and make many more memories with them.

Hello, I’m Karley Davidson from North Carolina. Hunting, fishing and everything outdoors has always been a big part of my life. I spend almost every part of each day out in the woods hunting, checking cams, feeding, mineral sites, food plot management, wildlife management, property management, looking for new deer signs, fishing etc. I self film all my hunts/fishing trips with Tactacam and my Nikon where I also do a lot of high quality photography for my sponsors and partners. I now currently work for Tactacam in the customer service area. QDMA is so important to me and I have a passion for harvesting mature bucks and does and managing a healthy herd and bettering the wildlife in anyway I can. I am also a avid turkey hunter.

The 2018-2019 season was my best to date and I was able to get my biggest to date a 5.5 year old mature 9 point whitetail buck that scored in the 140’s and also won best female deer award. From March-April 2019 I was able to catch my 3 biggest bass to date one was 8.5, 8.9 and 9.1.

I love getting people involved in the outdoors especially our youth. I am the owner of "Davidson Outdoors" & "North Carolina Hunting" also have a group of 5k members for that page.

What better way to bring back this, than to feature our 2019 Girl of the year?

My parents laid the foundation for my interest in the outdoors by taking me along and starting me hunting and fishing as soon as I was big enough. I shot my first shotgun at 3 years old. In my teens I branched out on my own and started deer hunting. My husband Adam and I started dating after I called and asked him to call coyotes with me, and he has been my biggest supporter ever since. He pushes me to learn things on my own and doesn't offer me much help one on one, just advice usually. He has truly molded me that way into a really exceptional hunter. I'm a tag saver so I can hunt every single day. He asked me once if I was even seeing deer so I started picking tufts of hair out of deer walking by and giving them to him. He eventually said something like, "okay you're getting pretty good at this".

The outdoors has been a part of who I am for as long as I or anyone close to me can remember. Being driven is who I am and it shows in my passions towards all of my hunts and fishing adventures. I refuse to believe there are any limits to what I can learn to do. I hunted for the first time in the fall of 2016 with a spear and successfully took a whitetail doe with it. And took the second with a spear in the fall of 2017, followed by becoming the first woman in recorded history to take a bear with a spear in the spring of 2018. My husband is a great influence for me and encourages what he refers to as my crazy! He recently decided that if I wanted to up my auntie so much and make hunts harder that we should dove hunt with our bows. I’m pleased to say I connected with my first dove on the fly with my bow on the 6th shot. Pushing myself and sharing what I love with others is what I was born to do. It’s never truly been about just the taking of an animal for me, but the entire process, one I am passionate about sharing with others. I’ve been blessed to represent some wonderful companies that share my similar interests. I am NOT a professional at one single aspect of anything, but I am learning everyday and am highly proficient with many weapons and the means to use them. When the work is done my days are spent training, hunting, fishing, trapping and teaching like one should expect of a professional outdoors woman and a lifetime member of the NRA.
