Season 5 of His & Hers Outdoors TV to Premier on the Pursuit Channel
It is well known that I don’t care for most hunting tv shows out there. I don’t care for the phoniness, or the high fence kills made to look like public land, I don’t care for the chest thumping and the egos and I definitely do not care for the “Good ‘ol Boys Club” mentality.
But I do watch a handful of hunting shows that have proven over time to produce exceptional content. His & Hers TV is one of them. I highly recommend you check them out this season. ~CarrieZ

Ground Hunting the Natural Way – Part Two
Now that your location has been set, let’s spend some time on blind construction. For starters, I’m not really fond of referring to the way I hunt as hunting out of a “blind” because it isn’t really a “blind” per say. When I think of “blind” I think of something synthetic like a store-bought pop-up. I prefer “enhancing natural cover” to creating a blind. For those who think I’m splitting hairs, you wouldn’t call food plots “baiting” would you? Same difference. Read More

Whether it was the lack of confidence in us actually killing anything or just to get us out of his hair he let us take the jeep. Read More

The Paleo/Clean Eating Lifestyle and the Hunter
The paleo “diet” has been all the rage the last few years. As the years go by, people are becoming more health conscious. They don’t want to ingest chemicals and ingredients that end in “fructose” that you can’t pronounce.
Eating Clean, eating healthy and providing our bodies with essential nutrients and healthy fats is on everyone’s minds.
The hunter has embraced this mentality since…well since the beginning of time. Read More

Sunday Morning Musings – Happy Surgical Anniversary Day & How Far I’ve Come
{I actually wrote this September 30, 2014. Today is my birthday and last year’s kinda sucked so I thought this would be a fitting post.}
I received a text today from my husband:
I chuckled because it was such a simple yet effective reminder of the hell I was going through exactly one year ago today. Lying in a hospital bed, in excruciating pain after having several organs ripped out of me. Barely coherent and doped up beyond my wildest fears. The complications that nearly killed me and the agony of a lengthy recovery.
