Episode 099: When One Chapter Ends, Another Begins

Episode 99

Tuesday, February 7, 2023 • Duration 15:06

I created this podcast three years ago to find and connect with other women interested in upland hunting and all things bird dogs. I was, and continue to be, eager to learn and be inspired. In the process, I've been listening and understanding what women want. My goals and mission are now focused on that; making opportunities available for like-minded women to connect and get started and involved more easily. In this closing episode, I share my gratitude for everyone who has inspired and supported me on this journey. Continue the journey with me and so many others over at HerUpland! HerUpland.com

Rachel Willard and her husband, Andrew, rely on wild game meat to fill their freezer and feast on year-round.

Rachel and Andrew have become very dear friends of my husband and me this past year, and we absolutely love and cherish every moment we spend with them. Both stepped up to the plate as mentors this past weekend at HerUpland Grouse Camp and did an amazing job.

Episode 092: Pheasant Fest 2022 - Fun, Friends, and Festivities

Episode 92

Tuesday, March 29, 2022 • Duration 01:24:16

In this episode I am joined by 4 awesome ladies throughout the country. For different reasons, each of them traveled to Omaha, NE for Pheasant Fest/Quail Classic March 11-13, an annual convention that is often described as the Super Bowl of Upland Hunting. Whether you’re a hunter, landowner, bird dog lover, wild game cooking enthusiast, or wildlife habitat conservationist, there is something for everyone at this event. But what isn’t advertised for this incredible weekend, are the lifelong friendships and connections made when you’re surrounded by likeminded people that share your passion. We sit down and talk about all of those things, in addition to, the people that inspired us throughout the weekend and all those in the Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever Organizations that worked so hard to host this incredible event, and all things they’re doing for the birds, wildlife, and habitat.
