Deer Season is in Full Swing!

I have been listening alot lately...and in my ears are the words of many women who have been hunting, have just tagged their first buck, have taken their sons or daughters or grandchildren hunting and many other wonderful (and sometimes funny) stories.  I love the words I am hearing!!!!  these are women who are conservationists. They love the outdoors and want to share that appreciation with their legacy.  Hopefully, some of those women will post on this blog from time to time to share these stories.
