We hope you’re having a great Thanksgiving and gearing up for a full meal with your family today (anyone trying the Roasted Pheasant recipe from yesterday?). 

We have so much to be thankful for this year! It hasn’t even been a full year since we started Camo Is the New Black and we’ve had more than 15,000 website views. We’ve been able to share so many inspiring stories about sportswomen and we are thrilled that there’s been so much interest in reading and sharing them.

Last week, we put up a petition to unite hunters and show support for Eva Shockey – we are overwhelmed by your response! There are almost 200 signatures and you didn’t stop there – CITNB’s Facebook page saw big jumps and we’re almost at 1,000 fans.

So basically, you guys are the best...

We were looking for turkey alternatives for this Thanksgiving and found this Roasted Pheasant recipe on Epicurious. Do any of you cook game for your Thanksgiving dinner? Share in the comments if you do!

The temperature outside was eleven above. The wind chill was eleven below. To a seven year-old, it was perfect. Snow scuttled across the highway in streams and waves. The small boy in the backseat peered eagerly through binoculars for the better part of the drive.

I put the truck in 4-wheel drive as I turned off the road. Snow-covered tracks lead up to the first draw, where we’d begin. After donning coat, gaiter, hat, snow pants, and gloves, the small boy jumped out of the truck and raced to the back for his bb gun. I put the eager boy in charge of the backpack filled with essentials, prepped my rifle, and we started across the field.

The draw was steep. Arched tufts of grass bore the weight of the snow, rebounding from our steps as we made our way down...

Recently, sportswoman Eva Shockey posted a picture of a 500 lb. black bear she shot in North Carolina on social media. This bear was the biggest she had ever bagged and she was proud. But not everyone was a fan of her harvest. Eva has received thousands of death threats. And unfortunately, Eva is not the first sportswoman to come under fire for being a hunter.

Today we are taking a stand because we are tired of the negativity. More than 37.4 million hunters and anglers across the United States contribute billions of dollars to conservation each year. Arguably without hunters and anglers, wildlife and their habitat would be in jeopardy.

Please join us in thanking Eva for continuing to be a positive force in the hunting and angling community by signing our petition:
