Finding the right recipe may just inspire a new hunter or angler so it’s important to have great resources.  Here are a few cookbooks to consider (or if you’re like me add to your growing collection!)

What is the difference between a life jacket and a PFD?

A life jacket is designed to float someone on their back, which works if the person is unconscious to get their face away from the water.

A PFD is designed to be more comfortable to wear as they are less bulky, and keep a...

Happy happy Father’s Day!!  Father’s Day is a day to celebrate dads all across the world.  Deceased and living, dads everywhere have helped their daughters get into hunting and fishing. Today we are thankful and hope you spend some extra time with your papa.  Yes, not all of us have come to hunting and fishing through our dads but many of us have and men continue to be extremely important in helping increasing the number of women who hunt and fish.
