My kind of company

I have written a few times (here and here) about the lack of women's clothing in the outdoor industry that fit and do their job.  I have pieced together my hunting wardrobe with a little bit of this and a little bit of that.  Then, a friend of mine on Facebook posted something about EvoOutdoors and I checked them out.  It was like finding a pot of gold. Not just two pairs of pants that would not fit right or a jacket too big, but actual women's hunting clothes with options!  I wanted in.

This is my Classic Mainer look: WOOL!
This is how the website describes this awesome group that I am now a part of:

EvoOutdoors ProStaff Team members have a passion for the outdoors. They are a group that prides themselves in ethical hunting techniques and passing that tradition to the younger generation. You can find them sharing their talent mentoring others, volunteering in their community, and of course out in the field in the pursuit of game!

YES, PLEASE!

Have you ever started talking to people and found that you just click? The same interests, the same passion and the same enthusiasm for the outdoors, hunting and fishing.  It's fun and exciting to have conversations with people on the West Coast about their elk hunt, the types of cameras that they use and how to get better gear for our adventures.  THAT is what EvoOutdoors is!  This incredible, supportive group that have the wackiest, most entertaining conversations (online) with one another.  It is like stepping into a large family that is laughing and joking and genuinely like each other.  AND they have gear and clothes.  I don't think that it gets any better than this.


EvoOutdoors not only offers deals on some of the best clothing in the industry BUT they will actually pick out the clothes you need for your hunt.  Think Maine girl wanting to elk hunt (someday) and having no idea what I would need (probably not wool) - Evo would help me get the right clothing with the right camo pattern and take the guess work out of it.  Hello, spoiled hunter!

I'm thrilled to be a part of EvoOutdoors and help get more people the gear that they need for the best outdoor experience.  There is nothing worst than being cold or wet and unable to stay in the woods.  Evo has GREAT companies that are partnering with us, so there is something for everyone.  Kids, men and women(!!) can finally get clothes that fit, hold up and it takes the worry about of that part of preparing for your hunt.

 Evo shares great deals and discounts on their Facebook page, so give them a 'Like' and keep up with the deals, pre-order opportunities and the fun stuff we are doing in the outdoors.

Healthy Coyote coming through

I still have a few trail cameras out to see what the deer are up to.  I have gotten pictures of the big buck that is around and most recently, I got these pictures.  Normally, I wouldn't be too freaked out but now that we have a dog, it is a little unnerving.  Add that this camera is about 50 feet from our lawn and less than 100 feet from our front door... I hope that this one is just passing through. (Sidenote: I put new batteries in this camera so the date and time are wrong BUT  I walked in front of it so it would take my picture and I could figure out what the actual time and date were: 7am Saturday morning.)

Where are the women?

This week, my interview with Steve at The Maine Outdoorsman went live. Steve said yesterday 200 people hit his site viewing over 500 pages. That is a lot of people reading about little ole me and hunting. Why? When I think of women who are in the general public's eye and hunt, I can think of 2 - Country singer Miranda Lambert and Sarah Palin. Why only two? Why is the female hunter such a fascinating thing? (I should probably note that I do not have cable so any and all female hunters on the hunting stations are lost to me. I'll keep it to the general public because that's what I am familiar with.) People/media were fascinated by the fact that they could get footage of Palin and her gun, shooting (and gutting) animals but I feel like the nostalgia would be lost if they had the same footage of McCain. Lambert and her hubby Blake Shelton tweet photos of their kills, and comment on what/where they are hunting. I only know this because I follow both. That's it....

Wanted: Mr. Sportsman

A friend of mine sent me this link and asked what I thought about it.  I had seen it before and was honest when I told him how degrading I felt it was.  Not only was the title of the "Miss Maine Sportsman" application in pink* but the questions were incredibly insulting to those of us that are fighting to be taken seriously among our male counterparts. Questions like, "Do you clean your own kills/catches?" would never be asked if it were Mr. Maine Sportsman.  It would be assumed that yes, of course men clean what they kill.  Why is that assumption not made of us outdoor women?  Another question, "Do cook [ sic ] what you catch/kill? If so, what’s your favorite recipe?" would never be asked of men.   My friend asked me what sort of questions I would ask if it were a Mr. Maine Sportsman pageant.  I came up with a bunch of snarky questions (Do you bait your own hook?) but then I thought about the questions that could have the most impact on the men t...
