Barbara Baird, publisher of The WON and aka Babbs in the Woods, is a freelance writer in outdoor and travel markets. A contributing editor to SHOT Business magazine, as well as columnist at Turkey Country and Shooting Sports USA, Barbara keeps her finger on the pulse of the hunting and shooting industries. She also gets to blog about outdoor news at Realtree.com. She lives on a ghost cattle ranch in the heart of the Ozarks with her husband, Dr. Bomb, an explosives expert. She is a mom to 4 children and a granny (who wears combat boots and camo) to 5. She loves to read self-help books, hike, shoot, fly fish and, of course, hunt with firearms and bows.

Dear Readers, Thank you for your support during the past 6 years. I suspect some of you remember the old wire look we first sported, back in the early days of blog format. We have moved away from the linear look of a wire service with this new theme that debuts on January 1, called Flying News. We will continue to offer the latest press releases regarding women in the hunting, shooting, fishing and adventure industries. Youll also get to see our reviews and our stories. Throughout the years, weve put together a team of women who not only are experts in their fields of writing, but who also are not afraid to try something new. For example, this coming year youll see several of us step outside our comfort zones and try activities and sports in the adventure world, such as rock climbing and geocaching. Also, thanks to the generous underwriters of The WON, especially from the hunting and shooting industries, who have underwritten the costs of this publication and who continue to give our team support in so many ways from sending us products to inviting us to media events. A special thank you goes to our friend Julie Golob, who has contributed her talents and exceptional skills to the design of this publication, as well as to the branding and marketing of the new website. When you read a review or a story at The WON, you can be assured that it is not tailored to sell something that we do not believe in. We do not want to let down our sisterhood of outdoor women in any way, and we value our reputation for integrity within the outdoor industry. We want to hear from you, learn more about you and cater to your outdoor needs. Kindest regards,

Tammy Ballew
Tammy Ballew grew up hunting and fishing smack dab in the middle of a bunch of brothers in the Ozarks of Missouri. Let's just say, there weren't any companions for playing Barbies in her house. This avid outdoorswoman has penned the column "Camo Mom" for several years, but now, pops in for an occasional review. We know that when Tammy likes a product, you'll probably like it, too! When she's not working as a full-time court reporter in southwest Missouri, you'll probably find her out hunting for whatever is in season. And, in her next life, she wants to come back as a professional bass angler. We think she likes the combination of big fish and fast boats. Who wouldn't?

Based on a survey in 2012, the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation reported that female anglers comprise the largest group of new anglers.

SHOOTING
By Britney Starr

ShootingStarr: LaserMax 25th anniversary event

I recently had the distinct pleasure of attending a LaserMax 25th anniversary event, held at Gunsite Academy. Eleven other industry professionals attended this inaugural event, as well as 3 LaserMax employees. Celia Crane, LaserMaxs public relations manager, planned the outing, and, thanks to her, the event provided a wealth of knowledge to all in attendance. wants one of her own. Retail value: $399 for the rifle and laser package. Shari LeGate, special projects manager for FMG Publications, tried her hand at the Ruger LC9 with LaserMax Centerfire laser. This snappy little handgun packed a punch. The LC9s slim design makes it a popular concealed-carry firearm. Retail value: $529 for the handgun and laser package. I really liked the Colt Mustang .380. In fact, since I first met this little number at the NRA show back in 2012 in St. Louis, Ive been impressed with its looks, its feel, its beautiful balance, its accuracy. I love how this pocket pistol delivered manageable recoil. Its a classic handgun that, again, many firearms users choose for concealed carry. Retail value: $649 for the Colt Mustang .380 and $139 for the LaserMax Centerfire laser for Colt Mustang.

Day 1
Day one of the LaserMax media event centered on gear. Ken Jorgensen, director of media relations for Sturm Ruger & Co., instructed Callie Davis, assistant editor for Ring of Freedom magazine. Callie shot the Ruger 10/22 with LaserMax laser. She loved the low recoil of the 10/22 and says that, after shooting it at Gunsite, she now

The gun-writers shot Colts Sporting Rifle CSR-1516 during the night shoot portion of the event. In fact, LaserMax offers 2 lasers for this firearm: UNI-Max or Genesis. Retail value: $990 for the rifle, $259 for the Genesis laser and $349 for the UNI-Max laser. Putting theory into real-life scenarios After becoming acquainted with the guns, we moved to one of the Gunsite fun houses for a lifelike scenario simulation. After pushing the front door open, we acquired and eliminated 3 threats with the Ruger LC9 (drawn from a concealed VersaCarry holster). The shady restaurant Glow sticks light the way during day 1s night shoot. This stage offered opportunities for us to work through dangerous scenarios while in the dark. One such scene simulated being attacked while in a restaurant, another scene simulated being attacked while walking to a vehicle. These experiences showed that using lasers on firearms greatly increased the ability to stay on target while shooting in the dark.

Day 2
Day 2 held more fun activities, including my first opportunity to witness ballistic gel testing with ammunition. Mike McNett, president and CEO of Double Tap Ammunition, assisted the group with this activity and provided multiple Double Tap loads, like the 125 grain, 10mm load using the Barnes TAC-XP bullet pictured above. This load penetrated the gel to exactly 14 inches. Members of the group shot 90 grain .380 ACP, 165 grain 9m+P Equalizer, 155 grain Bonded Defense .40 S&W, 110 grain .38 Special +P, 160 grain .45 ACP and, last but not least, the big guy a 275 grain .500 S&W. Gunsite range master Ed Head sent the .500 S&W downrange. It hit the ballistic gel with such force that the gel lifted off the table a few inches, vertically. Measurements show that the round penetrated a total of 20 inches into the gel. Home invasion Near and dear to everyones heart, the home-invasion scenario placed us in harms way as we learned how to clear a house filled with threats by using simunition GLOCKS. Simunition guns shoot projectiles that look like paint splatters, instead of live ammo. The Gunsite range masters instructed each participant Photo courtesy of Britney Starr individually and offered the best technique for clearing each room. In the photo above, I pied in the doorway, exposing only a minimal amount of my body while searching for the threat. I learn that turning on the laser only when I saw the threat prevented the possibility of giving away my position. The duel In true Gunsite fashion, the last activity of the 2-day event featured a duel, of sorts. The attendees went head-to-head, shooting GLOCK 19 handguns, in a round-robin style competition. Here, Tom McHale of My Gun Culture and Shari LeGate competed. As much as I hate to admit it, Tom beat all of the other competitors. Visit LaserMax.com to learn more about its excellent lineup of lasers.

HUNTING

Julie G: Wyoming Womens Antelope Hunt recap

For 70 years Wyoming men have held On December 10, 1869, Wyoming became the first state in the Union to grant women the right their own One Shot Antelope Hunt, to vote. Continuing with the pioneering tradition, but instead of bragging rights and a 2 Wyoming women Wyoming Supreme team race to shoot the most antelope Court Chief Justice Marilyn Kite and her sisterwith a single round in the shortest time, in-law Karey Stebner dreamed the concept the inaugural womens#event had an of the 1st Annual Wyoming Womens Antelope entirely different goal. Hunt. Just as Wyoming led the way in the womens suffrage movement more than a century ago, the hunt organizers and founders Teaming with Richelle Keinath, Rebekah Smith, hoped to do the same for women and hunting in Kathryn Boswell, Beth Worthen and many the Equality State. others of the WYWF and Wyoming Game & Fish, more than 30 women hunters from all For 70 years Wyoming men have held their walks of life made their ways, despite the threat own One Shot Antelope Hunt, but instead of of impending blizzard conditions, to The Ranch bragging rights and a team race to shoot the at Ucross. The Ranchs Vickie Abbott and Eric most antelope with a single round in the Wilhelm worked tirelessly with generous shortest time, the inaugural womens event had landowners, guides and meat processing an entirely different goal. The sisters not only vendors to make the experience one the wanted a way for women to enjoy the women would never forget. experience of hunting pronghorn in Wyoming, but they also wanted to make an impact on the women in their state by raising funds for the Wyoming Womens Foundation (WYWF).
According to its website, the WYWF invests in the economic self-sufficiency of women and the future of girls throughout the state. Its goals include improving access to education, jobs and asset growth for women and girls, in turn reducing teen pregnancy, increasing the number of women and girls who complete their education, supporting positive early job experiences and strengthening sustainable economic self-sufficiency.

When it snows ... it snows!

Lush greens from a wet summer and the bright golden hues of cottonwood trees greeted us as we arrived at Ucross. At registration, each hunter received a set of beads to wear proudly blue for those with experience and red for those new to hunting. Next, Wyoming Game & Fish gave a safety presentation along with important information on proper tagging procedures in Wyoming. Women also had the

WOMENSOUTDOORSNEWS January 2014

opportunity to sight in rifles. Everyone enjoyed a delicious welcome barbecue in the huge tent that would serve as the meeting place for dinners, the Saturday night auction and special events throughout the weekend. At the dinner we had the chance to meet one another and learn more about our hunting partners. We also met our guides and discussed the game plan for the next day, although no one imagined what a day Friday would turn out to be. The following day, at 5:30 a.m., the power went out and a quick look outside showed almost whiteout conditions. Authorities shut down Interstates and closed schools as we trudged to the main house for a breakfast by candlelight. Braving the horrible road conditions, the guides (all men) made their ways to the ranch, most thinking we would spend a day inside near a fire, sipping hot tea and telling stories. Instead, they found our hunting packs scattered around the floor and women bundling themselves in their warmest camo. We came to hunt! Danielle Sanville, of Smith & Wesson, shot the first buck, at 49.5 yards. At the end of the weekend her shot earned her the Super Stalker Award, a beautiful bronze antelope bust trophy. Despite blizzard conditions, more women returned with their pronghorns tagged throughout the day, sharing their stories and smiles. The contagiousness of the days excitement carried through to the auction. First Lady Carol Mead, Representative Cynthia Lummis, and other prominent Wyoming citizens had been scheduled to attend, but weather and political duties kept 2/3rds of the guests away. Those who could make it joined us as we participated in raffles, and enjoyed a silent and live auction with donations from generous sponsors. The mission resonated with many of the new hunters, like Wyoming resident Lynn Green, a combat veteran whose experience at the hunt is one she will never forget. After taking her first shot on an animal, she now looks forward to sharing hunting

with her young son. The WYWF recognized her and 7 other women as first-time hunters. They each received the Diana Award. California vegetarian Kristy Scott will no doubt remember this hunt, too. Kristy served as an example of the women whom the WYWF hopes to reach. A mom who wanted to learn a way to provide healthy, organic food for her children, Kristy received the Boone & Crockett-sponsored Roosevelt Award. The Roosevelt Award celebrates an adventurous spirit, determination, self-reliance and the need to give back more than that taken. Brilliant blue replaced snow-filled skies on day 2 of the hunt, as the remaining hunters, with the help of their experienced guides, spotted, stalked and low-crawled to fill their tags. Thirty-two of the 34 women earned another set of beads representing their successes. Those who took multiple shots on their game received pearls. For the 28 hunters who took their pronghorn with a single shot, they received gold and also Annie Oakley awards. The women participated in other activities while there. They had the chance get artistic with paints, bust clays with shotguns and learn how to process meat from their pronghorns.

One of the hunters and professional taxidermist Charlotte Wilsey-Catlin of The Wildlife Gallery gave an impromptu demonstration on how to cape and I offered a Field to Fork cooking demonstration, making Venison Pho. After a final breakfast, Sunday morning we all packed up our guns and gear, and made our ways home. It was hard to believe it was over, but to all, the hunt represented incredible success. The avid hunters shared their knowledge and passion for hunting. For others, the WYWF planted a seed to make hunting forever a part of their lives. No doubt though, the first Wyoming Womens Antelope Hunt represented a celebration of women coming together, mentoring and creating relationships that will last lifetimes.

FISHING What a catch! The 7 Deadly Sins, or how not to guide an angler
By Kathryn Maroun

Im sure that you have made offers in life that you never expected the person to actually take you up on. Here take it, you should have the last piece of cake. I insist. Then you are in shock and upset when the person takes you up on your hollow offer. The delight of a great fishing run is a lot like cake always leaves you wanting more. Nothing will upset an angler more than having someone else mess with his water, even if they seemingly have had their fill. I politely offer guides a pass at the pool, but I never expect them to take me up on my offers. Sometimes they do. And this prompts me to ask this question: Should a guide get a chance to fish his sports water? Whether guides can fish depends on many variables: river rules, licensing rules, and lodge rules. But if all of those are OK, then it depends on your relationship with the guide. Richard Adams a good guide! A lot of fishermen become guides because they love to fish. In my opinion, and with experience from both sides of that equation, I think that it muddies the waters and can turn an otherwise successful fishing day on its ear when guides fish their sports water. Its a case of you cant have your cake and eat it, too. Fishing is fishing and guiding is guiding. Pick one! I love guiding and I love fishing, but never the two shall mix. Personally, I think that it is better not to be the person poling the boat. But if you are the guide and not the sport, you

a fly. My guide was very knowledgeable and good company a recipe for a wonderful week of fishing. I wanted him to enjoy his day, so I offered him the rod. We were drifting nicely at the hourglass of a lake where the flow was funneling lots of food for the bold pike. My guide started picking off lunkers one after the other. He landed four fish, bang, bang, bang, and bang. Twenty minutes had passed and I wasnt fishing. I started to get frustrated because he wasnt giving me a chance to fish. I asked him to give me a chance to put the camera down and cast my fly. The words were still afloat in the thin northern air when he hooked up again. I had to pull out my own guide card and tell him to stop fishing. A quiet unease fell over the boat. It wasnt much fun catching fish after that. Successful guides dont feel a need to hog the water. Their sole focus is to ensure that their client has the best, safest, and fishiest experience possible. I love fishing with guides who get as much pleasure from watching me catch a quality fish as they do from catching it themselves.

to one-up his client the only way he could: flexing his fishing muscle. A good guide would never try to make someone else feel small. A good guide would take his ego out of the equation and not be quick to pass judgment.

Envy
Envy is characterized by an insatiable desire to possess someone elses traits, status, abilities, or rewards. The also desire the entity and covet what others have. Envy is also forbidden in the Ten Commandments: Neither shall you desire anything that belongs to your neighbor. Dante defined envy as a desire to deprive other men of theirs. One of the funniest experiences Ive had with a guide getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar happened a few years ago, but not so long ago that the experience has lost its edge. I was working with one of my regular shooters. It is a running joke between us to see how long it takes for the guide to try on his funny stuff. Oftentimes they feel a need to ensure that they catch the biggest fish on camera. Apparently a number of guys still find it unpalatable for a woman to catch the biggest fish. Yawn. But this was a new record. The guide set the anchor and said, The fish are there. Start short and work your way out until you reach your maximum cast, and then we will drop down. Great, I said. Go ahead, you first. He looked shocked. He didnt expect that I would let him have the first cast of the day. He started to pull up the anchor rather than pull line off his reel. He explained that the larger fish were in a different location and that he needed to motor to a new spot. I said to him, Do I understand this correctly? You put me over frog water?

Pride
Pride is a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge the good work of others, and excessive love of self. I have had the great pleasure of spending time with successful guides, and these are guides who are proud of their local natural resources and want to show them off. What better way to do that than to make sure that their client fishes every inch of promising water during their limited time in the area?

Wrath

Sob. It was a long week. Wrath, also known as rage in its purest form, Great guides whom I have had the pleasure of presents with self-destructiveness, violence, and hate that may provoke feuds that can go on fishing with are people who would never play games at my expense. It is a shared success. for centuries. Wrath may persist long after the person who did another a grievous wrong is dead. Feelings of anger can manifest in different ways, including impatience, revenge, I love fishing with guides who and vigilantism. We have all heard the stories of the guide who pulls out a trophy fish from under his clients nose with the excuse of, I was only showing him how to work the fly when all of a sudden the fish hit.

Sloth
Sloth can entail different vices. While sloth is sometimes defined as physical laziness, spiritual laziness is emphasized. Failing to develop spiritually is key to becoming slothful. Sloth has also been defined as a failure to do things that one should do. By this definition, evil exists when good men fail to act. Sometimes its not entirely the guides fault. Sometimes the sport [angler] asks the guide to cast for him. The guide gladly steps up to cast the fly, and he knows where to place it to make it count. Not surprisingly he places it on the nose where the fish habitually lie. The water explodes, the guide sets the hook, then hands the armchair angler the rod. The guide found the fish, picked the correct fly and tied it on, spent the time to build enough skill to cast to the fish, lost enough fish to know how to set a hook properly . . . Whats left to do? Nothing, really.

He hands the rod off to the client so he will get a big tip and the sport can reel in a trophy, along with the bragging rights. The big white hunter returns to camp at the end of the day and signs the logbook. The guide and the sport cheapen the experience for everyone in camp when this is allowed to go on. And it does go on on and on and on. Great guides, whom we love to see in the industry, take the time to pass along skills and knowledge to the folks they guide.

Greed
Greed, also known as avarice or covetousness, is, like lust and gluttony, a sin of excess. However, greed (as seen by the church) is applied to a very excessive or rapacious desire and pursuit of material possessions. Im happy to report that, when given the opportunity, most guides do the right things for the right reasons. Perhaps I should cut some of the bad apples some slack and excuse away bad behavior by saying that perhaps that the TV cameras bring out the worst in people. When given the choice to deprive me of the magic fly, or do the right thing and share with me what was working that week to elicit a strike, this great guide gave me the fly. Visit What A Catch!

When looking for a fishing trip, you have to do your research. First off, you need to know the area, what fish may be biting, where to go to catch such fish and what types of boats are available.

ADVENTURE
By Mia Anstine

Mia & the Little Gal: Our first south-of-the-border sport fishing adventure in Mexico
Is there something about fun that entails work and waking up before the sun? In the life of Mia and the Little Gal (LG), it sure seems to be the case. Whether we are hunting or fishing, we do believe in the saying, The early bird gets the worm. This early-morning adventure was a first for myself and LG. We were super excited because Hank was taking us sport fishing. We enjoyed a relaxing vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and of course had to add in some hunting or fishing because after all, its what we love to do. I asked some friends who are boat captains for advice on who to go fishing with and they offered some great suggestions. April in the Sea of Cortez is really not the hot time of year for sport-fishing. Some captains were booked, and others were taking time off to spruce up and perform maintenance on their boats. Left to our own devices, we sent Hank to partake in the popular Mexico barter process and book us a fishing trip.

How to book a south-of-theborder shing trip

When looking for a fishing trip, you have to do your research. First off, you need to know the area, what fish may be biting, where to go to catch such fish and what types of boats are available. You need to know if the fee includes going to those areas or not. In our case, Hank wanted a safe and smooth ride because he most

WOMENSOUTDOORSNEWS January 2014

importantly wanted LG to have fun. He didnt want her turning green and being sick the entire time. He opted for a larger boat that would be more stable on the water. LG and I, of course, wanted to catch the biggest trophy fish in the sea, but since it was not season for giant marlin, we opted for anything bigger than what we had caught in our prior salt-water fishing adventures. With a few expectations set, we sent Hank on his way to barter for a Mia & the Little Gal-style fishing trip. Hank met many people who offered fishing trips along the marina. Some would include bait, some not. Some had the fastest boat, some had the safest boat and others guaranteed the impossible. Then he met a man who knew a man. Through him, he booked a trip with Captain Alfredo Ocaranza Zuiga. This captain is a native to the area and has guided sport-fishing on his own boat and others for nearly 40 years. Zuiga is a 2time champion in the International Tournament of Marlin and Fish Watches in Port Vallarta. More importantly, we learned his goal is for his clients to be successful in catching fish. Alfredo and his first mate met us on the docks before sun-up. At a balmy 70 degrees, we were happy to not be bundled up in winter gear and excited to meet this famous captain. We briefly chatted about what we wanted to catch and before we knew it, the marina and other fishing boats were behind us.

caught her breath and then began the fight again. Her little biceps bulged and she snarled and growled as she worked the fish in. LG kept pulling and tugging until the first mate finally told her to hold it. He brought the fish aboard and she grinned from ear to ear. She had caught her largest fish to date. A 40-pound jack crevasse. With smiles, high fives and hugs, we went back to work. Work? Yes. I am calling it work. With all the activities we do we thought we were in pretty good shape. Good shape that is until you have to fight a huge fish on your line. Our biceps burned, legs looked for traction and our soft hands screamed. That LG is one tough gal! That beautiful day LG and I reeled in a total of 6 of those fish. We cheered and the captain, first mate and Hank laughed at us as we caught our BIGGEST FISH EVER! She ended the day with a total of 12 baitfish, and 4 jack crevalle; the largest was over 60 pounds. At school she won 2 of the 4 categories in her school contest, most fish and biggest fish.

What now?
Now, after burning biceps, excitement and fun, our bucket lists have grown. We are training for what we hope will be our next family vacation. We hope it will be a sport-fishing adventure including a chase of dorado, tuna and of course, marlin. Our work is never done, and of course the early bird gets a big fish.

Were off!
I have to add in another angle to this angler story. LG was extra happy to be going on this trip because her school science teacher had presented the kids with a contest for the week. He was going to give awards to the student(s) that caught the first fish, the most fish, the largest fish and the smallest fish. LG was off to work on winning this contest. With lines in the water, we trolled for bait. (Refer to my prior statement, when booking a trip, ask if bait is included.) We wanted to catch as many fish as possible from small to large. LG reeled in fish after fish, as she caught our bait. The first mate looked at us as though we were insane as we asked to take pictures with each bait fish that looked possibly smaller than the last. She and I decided he was probably used to men who only wanted to reel in record-breaking blue marlin. We giggled each time she pulled one in and he shook his head. Before long we were chasing the flocks of sea-going birds and looking for real fish. We watched as we left other fishing boats in the wake and our captain raced to a feeding area. We could see fish rising around us and hoped it would not be long. Then one took the bait. LG was positioned in her chair. She held the rod tight and heaved and ho-ed as she reeled in a fish. The fight was on. She pulled and tugged. She would bring the fish close to the boat and then her jaw would drop as the fish would take the line and run. Her determination exploded as she waited,

ShootingStarr: Beretta SV10 Perennia I

I had the pleasure of shooting the 20-gauge SV10 Perennia I shotgun with 26-inch barrels for the entirety of Michigans upland-hunting season this year. This 7-pound, over-and-under is a breeze to carry through the North Woods, and makes daylong hunting excursions, through thick cover, easier than if I carried a heavier shotgun. I also used the Perennia during more than 20 rounds of skeet and sporting clays, in preparation for upland season. Below are some of the reasons why this gun is perfect for any upland huntress.

Marti Davis Afield: Beretta Nano review

Micro-compact, 9mm handguns are one of the hottest concealed carry items lately. I recently took the Beretta BU-9 Nano to the range and put it to the test. This wasnt the first time Ive shot the Nano. Back in June of 2012, at the Girls Gun Getaway, I had the opportunity to try Berettas first striker-fired pistol. Read the full review.

Babbs in the Woods: Bugout gators kept her bug free!

It all started about two weeks before the official spring turkey season commenced here in Missouri last year. I had been out scouting and came back with multiple chigger bites on my ankles and lower legs. Although I sprayed Permethrin on my boots and jeans, the lil critters still climbed aboard my legs and chewed on me for a while. I still have the scars to prove their existence. About the same time, I received a press release regarding Insect Shield products, by Outdoor Research. Read the full review.

Babbs in the Woods: Bond gun cousin Walther PPQ M2 ready to protect
The PPQ M2 is a cousin to the Bond family of defense guns, in the family of P99s, but intentionally designed for the carry market and for those of us who like some of GLOCKs features, but might prefer a smoother trigger and slimmer grip. A redesign of the original PPQ, which featured a 2sided paddle on the bottom of the trigger guard as its release, the new magazine release on the polymer-framed, striker-fire PPQ M2 appears in a standard side location on both sides.

Reviews with Michelle B.: Frogg Toggs womens waders

Years ago, when I purchased my first pair of waders, they were only offered in mens sizing, and in limited one-size-fits-all styling. It was difficult to find a pair that fit properly. Today, however, the industry markets countless brands of waders cut for a womans curves! My favorite brand for size and fit is Frogg Toggs. The womens Canyon Togg wader series is designed for the female shape and is available in a range of sizes (small through x-large). The waders are expertly constructed to not bunch around the arms and chest. Read the full review.

Ask Writing Huntress: Goose hunting for beginners

Dear Writing Huntress, Im trying my hand at waterfowl hunting this year and need some help. The only other kind of hunting Ive done was deer hunting with my 20-gauge pump shotgun. Do you have any basic guidelines for a newbie goose hunter? Is my 20-gauge enough to kill a goose? How do you cook goose meat? Sincerely, Overwhelmed in Ohio

Dear Overwhelmed, First off, take a big, deep breath. Then take another. Are we cool, calm and collected yet? Good! Secondly, allow me to commend you on your choice to begin waterfowling! I, much like you, started out my waterfowl hunting tenure with Canada geese, because they are easy to identify and they weigh 9-12 pounds easier to shoot than a 3-pound duck.

WOMENSOUTDOORSNEWS January 2014

My first goose-hunting adventure occurred some 4 years past. My (now) husband and his buddy, Devin, were in attendance. Our home state of North Carolina had just opened its early Canada goose season in September, a time of year that is best classified as still summer as opposed to almost fall. The mercury hovered around 100 degrees the entire hunt, with a balmy 87 percent humidity. I, eager to impress my comrades, had gone a little crazy with the camouflage face paint. It ended up dripping in multicolored rivers down my bare arms only minutes into the hunt. I got stuck retrieving decoys and never once shot my gun. It wasnt until months later that the stars aligned to allow my first goose kill. Moral of the story? Goose hunting, much akin to all waterfowling, is difficult. Its muddy, its exhausting and it can be downright annoying if the birds arent cooperating. But when the birds are plentiful and your shots connect, its one of the most rewarding hunting experiences youll ever enjoy. Without further ado, lets delve into The Writing Huntresss basic guidelines for newbie goose hunters.

Chapter 1: Know your goose

Bird identification is key. In some cases, its a matter of keeping or losing your hunting license if you accidentally shoot an out-of-season bird, or one that is federally protected. Your best bet is to do a lot of studying before season focusing on characteristics of different kinds of geese, from their honks, the way they fly, to what each ones silhouette looks like from 30 yards away. Visit your local Game and Fish office to procure information about the kinds of geese in your area. When youre there, ask if you can talk with a game warden or wildlife biologist, if one is available, about your identification questions. Lucky for you, Overwhelmed, youre focusing on Canada geese, one of the most easily recognizable geese in North America. Even though you may be comfortable visually identifying a Canada goose from a Snow goose, be sure to be absolutely positive before pulling the trigger.

Chapter 2: Shoot that 20!

Contrary to popular thought, you are completely able to kill a goose with something other than a 12gauge, semi-automatic shotgun. How do I know? Simple, I killed my first goose with a Mossberg 500 youth-edition 20-gauge. At the time, it was the only gun I felt comfortable enough to shoot, so I used it the entirety of my first goose season, with great success. Now, while your gun is able to shoot a goose, you still need to practice. One of the best ways to prepare for shooting flying objects is to got to the nearest skeet or sporting clay range. There, instructors can teach you how to shoot at clays moving in all sorts of directions, so that by the time webbed feet are landing on top of your blind, youll be ready.

Learn more about Lisa at The WON.

Chapter 3: Bacon-wrapped gaggle of geese

Many a skeptic claims that geese taste too gamey, and theyre not versatile enough to warrant shooting. These claims are utterly false. Canada geese are not only delicious, but also malleable enough to work into any dish. My husband and I live in the Prairie Pothole Region of North Dakota, which means we kill a lot of geese, which means we eat a lot of goose. Besides making goose breakfast sausage, summer sausage, jerky and other types of sausage-esque products, we practically live off of bacon-wrapped goose poppers. To make the mouthwatering bites, just breast out as many geese as you have handy. Once theyre breasted, you can soak the breasts in milk for a few hours or overnight, depending on how much of the gamey flavor you feel like eliminating. Take the breasts and cut them into palm-sized medallions. Then, place a piece of cheese and a jalapeo in the middle. Roll the goose, then wrap it with a piece of bacon, secure the whole combination with a toothpick, and throw them on the grill. Once the bacon and goose are cooked, youre ready to eat! Remember that goose hunting is multi-faceted and the learning never ends, so be sure to keep your eyes open for seminars, speakers or outdoor shows in your area. Good luck and please report back to The WON on how your season goes! Happy hunting, WH
