Extreme Huntress 2017 and 2018 Semi-Finalist
After submitting an extensive application, I felt honored to have been chosen as a top 20 semi-finalist in the world for the Extreme Huntress Competition.  Being able to be an ambassador for women in the outdoors is what I strive to do.

To continue inspiring other hunters.

I love living this lifestyle and sharing my passion for hunting. As a hunter, I am dedicated to representing companies with top quality products and values as a member of their team.

The Extreme Huntress Competition is about preserving our outdoor heritage. Our goal is to create positive role models for women who want to participate in hunting.

Jeana: Jeana: I was 40. Yeah. So it was only seven years ago and so I was older than a lot of people but I guess younger than some people, too.

So you’re never too old to learn something new and if you’re passionate about it, you can become proficient.

Bruce: Let’s talk about any barriers that you had to get through, and this is for our listeners to hear what a lady 40 years old, married, husband loves to hunt and is investing time.

So let’s talk about how your husband taught you or allowed you to embrace the outdoors and embrace hunting and embrace harvesting game, killing game.

Jeana: Well, I guess I was lucky because our children were pretty much grown at that time so we didn’t have to worry about being at home.

They were both in high school so I didn’t have to worry about staying at home with them or finding baby sitters so we had the time to go out.

They were at the age to where they could take care of themselves so I had the time to go out and I know that that’s a problem for a lot of both men and women because in today’s world, there are a lot of single men out there that are raising children as well as single women. So that was on our side.

He just taught me that if I wanted to do it, all I had to do was put my mind to it. He had extraordinary patience with me.

I was not the easiest person to teach because I am very strong willed and hard headed and I love him for taking the time with me.

Extreme Huntress Competition is about preserving our outdoor heritage. Our goal is to create positive role models for women who want to participate in hunting.

Hi, I live in Daniel Wyoming. I’m the mother of 2 adult
children. And I’m living the dream.

My story began 50 years ago when my parents married on opening day of hunting
season 1965. They spent their honeymoon in deer camp and I was born a short 9
months later.

So one might say…. that I was conceived to be an extreme
huntress!

I’m a retired US Army Special Forces (Green Beret) and Army Ranger, 23 yrs. of service. We love to hunt with bow and black powder!

My largest whitetail deer is with a black powder, an scored 182.

Our show is all about family! We hunt as a family and we have other members of our show hunt with their youth! 4 out of of our 6 episodes were youth hunts!! Social media: https://twitter.com/ODVTS  https://www.facebook.com/OutdoorVisionsTvShow/

We are big into the wounded warrior project, as we guided three different vets on turkey hunts this past year.

aka Dad I myself have 2 Purple Hearts and can relate to this great concept of giving back to our Veterans.

We are big into the wounded warrior project

Life in Camo, the GOOD life!
My name is Nancy Jo Adams, a freelance writer, columnist, dedicated blogger, avid huntress and founder of Ladies in Camo. I am also content strategist for several companies in the industry.
 
I quickly learned that you can only take Archery 101 and Shot gunning 101 a couple times before you are bored with it. So I set out looking for hunts that I could attend with other women.

I did find a few hunts but they were mostly “fund” driven events which meant along with that hunt came games and auctions in hopes of raising money for a certain organization.
Which is definitely a great cause, but it did not take long for me to get bored with those events as well–I wanted to HUNT.

I wanted the same experience any hunter would get if they booked a hunt with an outfitter…. great food, good fellowship and plenty of hunting.
There are a few organizations out there offering hunts but they are way out of my price range. Finally, I decided if I couldn’t find any outfitters willing to offer quality economical hunts, I would organize a few myself.

Instead of letting all of our past footage sit on our hard drives, being watched only by us, waiting for the next inevitable computer crash to put it at risk….

we finally decided to do something useful with it! From that idea…..Outdoor-Devotion.com was born. (http://outdoor-devotion.com/about/)

It is exactly what it sounds like…devotion to the outdoors. We are Michigan based outdoor enthusiasts, who primarily focus on bow hunting mature whitetails. Most of us have known each other for many years, and have an ongoing hunting dialog via email, that we now are putting online. Outdoor Devotion – Jared Van Hees

We hunt all over Michigan, and all over the Midwest as well. Nebraska, Missouri, Ohio, Colorado and Illinois, have all been a part of our past experiences. Outdoor Devotion – Jared Van Hees

It is exactly what it sounds like…devotion to the outdoors.
Not only do we hunt whitetails, we also find other ways to keep busy when deer season ends. Scouting for the next deer season, ice fishing, shed hunting, turkey hunting & walleye fishing are a few ways we like to stay sharp. You can fond us on Face Book (https://www.facebook.com/OutdoorDevotion) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/outdoordevotion/)

Follow along as we post up our season highlights, and feel free to send in your successes to be published along with ours!

About Jared Van Hees..,“The day I passed Hunter’s Safety, I begged my Dad to take me duck hunting.  We walked down to the Grand River in Grand Haven, MI and he told me to be ready.  As we stalked up to the water’s edge….we jumped 3 mallards and I shot my first duck!  Since then, the obsession has gotten worse each year.

College came along, where I scheduled my classes around bow season.  This made for long Tuesdays & Thursdays on campus, but gave me lots of time to become the bow hunter I am today.  I learned the basics of chasing mature bucks.  Since then, my number 1 target is Mr. Big….but I still believe the trophy is in the eye of the beholder.

These days I find myself raising my twin girls when I’m not working.  One day I will have two little hunting buddies, so raising them outside is important to me.  When I do get free time, I am in the woods.”

Share your outdoor adventure!
Chad says – Sure, so essentially what we’re doing is we’re creating a social network that’s centered more to the outdoor enthusiasts of the world. Some of us think that we’ve noticed with the other social sites is a lot of it is all politics now.

There’s even been rumors that Facebook is going to stop allowing people to post pictures of their hunt, the animals that they’ve harvested.

So what we are looking to do is we’ve actually created a social network that is centered towards the pictures and videos that people have of anything from bicycling to water sports to hunting, fishing, motorsports, snow sports, you name it, if it’s the outdoors and you’re taking pictures and videos, we have a specific place for you to place those and store all of your images and videos, and really share it within different collective group of people that share the same interest as you.

It’s really endless. People are strapping cameras to everything nowadays.

Next week, I’m actually going to be riding in a pace car, and we are going to have a bunch of cameras inside of a pace car during a race. So drag racing, stock car racing, fishing is a big one especially around here.

Fishing has just taken off especially tournament fishing. So a lot of people are looking for ways to put cameras on different angles and really just capture that moment when the big fish is getting reeled in.

People are snowboarding, and any extreme sport. The possibilities are endless with this. So we have said what we wanted to do is create this social network that’s really going to apply to everybody in this, and give them what they want.

INDIANAPOLIS–Trent Cole is Hunting a Super Bowl in Indianapolis

You could say competitive sports run in the family for Colts linebacker Trent Cole. Eight of his uncles are high school or college coaches. His cousin, Norris Cole, is an NBA player who won two championships with the Miami Heat.

But the eleven-year NFL veteran also has another passion: hunting. Sports may be in his blood, but for Cole, the outdoors is a way of life. Blitz TV Trent Cole

“You’ve got to have a balance,” he says. “You’ve got family. You’ve got to remember that. It’s God first, family second, and then your job. And then there’s hunting. You’ve got to learn when it’s time to quit and have respect for everything.”

Growing up in rural Ohio, it was his stepdad who introduced him to hunting. He would ask his mom to leave him at the archery shop down the road so he could hang out, talk with the guys, and absorb as much knowledge as possible.

Once she bought him a bow, he says he was hooked – and his passion grew as he did.

“From there on, I had buddies of mine and we were filming our hunts and we had idols, like ESPN Outdoors,” he says. “And next thing you know, college came, we’re still doing it. NFL, I had a little change in my pocket, and I ended up starting my own production company and we’re doing DVDs and the next year, it turned into a TV series and now we’re on national TV.

This is my sixth year in television and we’re worldwide.”

Blitz TV airs on NBC Sports and the Discovery Channel. For Cole, it’s both a job and a release.

“I’ve always had coaches through my career, especially in the NFL,

tell me, ‘Man, you have a getaway. You have an outlet. You know how to switch it off and come back the next day and come back to work.’ It’s nice. It’s relaxing.”

This high-quality rear peep sight for compound bows is so genius it makes you wish you’d thought of it. It is called the Precision Peep, and the idea behind it is just brilliant.

“We believe in creating high quality peep sights that will benefit archers. We believe in great customer service. We don’t believe in gimmicks.

We believe in the Bible and the family dinner. We believe that a little bit of dirt is a sign of a happy childhood.

We believe in being outdoors. We believe the best date is on the back of a tailgate in the middle of a field.

We believe in farmers and ranchers and hunters. We believe in the goodness of people. And we believe in Precision Peeps.” Kristin and Bas Wolf Founders of Precision Peeps.

Each year, archers look for new ways to make themselves more accurate in the field as hunters and on the course as target shooters. The Precision Peep may just be the tool to do that.

Bas and Kristen are very professional and personable people that I consider friends. When they asked me to rep for them at the ATA, I was blown away.

I was asked to join Whitetail Stalker with Mike and Shelly Grandstaff  (http://bit.ly/2kkum2L) in the fall of 2016 as well.

Hunting has and is not about the kill, it’s about nature. Enjoying what nature has to offer. Watching a squirrel scamper along the leaves, frost on trees on a cold morning, steam rolling off the water as the sun rises.

These are all things that truly are priceless to me. Now don’t get me wrong, do enjoy the animals that I harvest just the same. The whole process of finding, harvesting, processing and cooking natural food for my family is something that very few anymore can or even do.

Faith, Family, Service and Hunting! When not with my family, serving this great country or chasing game, I spend a lot of time working on fitness and staying healthy for my family. Plus, game doesn’t haul itself out of the woods on its own.

Due to the size of the plot, they were over browsed by deer, groundhogs and rabbits. Along with the unprecedented drought and hot weather we had here, they didn’t have a chance.

Most years with good moisture, they were able to stay ahead of the critters and although they don’t usually get real tall, they produced pods.

Enter GrandPa Ray. Food Plots John O’Brion

On July 28th with the prediction of rain, I went ahead and broadcast 2 bags of Grains & Greens and 1 bag of Frosty Delight along with 5#’s of buckwheat over the beans.

Well no rain showed up and one week later I very little to no germination – only some of the buckwheat and in a few damper spots some Frost Delight.

One week later we started to get some rain on a regular basis and low and behold, you see the results.
Most of this growth occurred in the last 10 days. It’s amazing what some rain can do. The beans are also coming along too and still providing forage.

I started putting in food plots approximately 15 yrs. ago. My soil is sandy and I plant “staging” plots for the deer inside my woods.

Never have I had to cut my clover because it had grown too high. Last year I started using the Grandpa Ray 9-4-9 plant food on this 2 yrs. old clover plot. I had to cut it 3 times!!!

I decided to see if it was a fluke that this happened, so am again using the 9-4-9 this year and as you can see the plot is nearing cutting height in this early June pic. This stuff works!!!

ATA introduction of the Benjamin Air Bow…The definitive guide to the new Pioneer Airbow by Benjamin, the premiere hunting brand of Crosman Corporation. https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/id1094300077

With a focus towards educating wildlife agency professionals, legislators and others on the functionality, features and benefits of this revolutionary new hunting weapon.

Professional hunter Jim Shockey stated it best in explaining his support of the Pioneer Airbow®:

“Despite equipment innovations over the years, we hunters have learned to coexist. I believe we’ve become more accepting of each other, no matter what type of hunting tool we choose. And this is a good thing for the future of our hunting heritage. As hunting equipment manufacturers have innovated, the hunting market has grown, more people have jobs in our industry, and wild places and wild animals are better off. More hunters mean more dollars for wildlife conservation.”

Two hundred years ago an airgun helped lead the expansion of the West as part of the Lewis & Clark Corps of Discovery expedition. Today, Crosman Corporation continues the exploration of new territory with pneumatic power and the Airbow® is leading the way.

CenterPoint, the optics and archery brand of Crosman Corporation, is proud to to announce the Sniper 370 crossbow has been recognized as Outdoor Life Magazine’s “Great Buy” selection in the publication’s annual archery review.

Revealed in January, the Sniper has impressed industry experts and consumers with its build quality, performance and price point.

“CenterPoint Crossbows represent the very best in value and performance. Every crossbow includes quality optics and accessories to meet the challenges of today’s modern archery hunter,” says Jennifer Lambert, VP of Marketing.

“We thank Outdoor Life for this recognition and welcome everyone to try out the CenterPoint Sniper at their local sporting goods store.”

ATA News….

Pro Talk Outdoors Partners With Treezyn! (www.treezyn.com) We are extremely excited to announce our partnership with Treezyn Camo.  Over the course of the past couple of months we have been speaking with all the fine folks that are behind this great company.

After meeting several great people, and sampling what we feel like is the best camo that we have ever put our hands on, it was time for Pro Talk Outdoors to pick a company that we could partner and grow with.

If you haven’t seen or been introduced to this camo yet, we would be more than happy to introduce you to it.

Joe Willis, Matt Moore, and Matt Murphy discuss the ATA show, and how one of them was dubbed ‘Big Juicy’.

But one thing we do is, we don’t just share people’s deer if they are over a certain amount of inches.

We want to instill that, you know, a trophy to me may not be the same meaning of a trophy to a young boy that went out on his first hunt and he only shot a fork horn a year and a half old.

And now, that’s something that we wouldn’t do, but it’s a trophy to them.

And it’s about the memories that they’ve got to go out and, you know, they can probably remember the exact moment they shot the deer and what it meant to them.

And they’ll remember that for the rest of their lives. It may even be a doe, but it’s about their trophy and what it means to them to take that animal. Trophy Bucks of Iowa Brandon Dahms http://bit.ly/2j9aOK7

Well, it’s…you know, and we’ll get sometimes where people will comment, “I can’t believe you took that deer.” Again, it’s all about what it means to that person.

You might have a five-year-old deer that’s never going to get to be 180 in its class. People see hunting on TV in Iowa, and they think they are going to come to Iowa and automatically shoot a Boone and Crockett deer.

You know, that’s just not the case. It does take great managing, having the right property, but to some people, their whole dream isn’t to shoot a Boone and Crockett, it’s just to have the memories, and get out there and have a successful hunt with family and friends.

To our 51,100 listeners who have downloaded our show on iTunes, the over 225 show quests and close to 30,000 followers on social media.

Whitetail Rendezvous “Listen- Learn & Succeed”
Whitetail Rendezvous “Listen- Learn & Succeed” Join host Bruce Hutcheon with Co-Founder Bob Roark, as he joins with his guests from across North America to talk about white-tail deer and lessons learned tips and techniques, stories the traditions of hunting, women in the outdoors and mentoring the youth. Bob & Bruce Co-Founders say Thanks

Whitetail Rendezvous vision is to educate collaborate and communicate with whitetail hunters across North America.

Let’s spend a minute or two sharing why Whitetail rendezvous was created.

I retired about four years ago and began spending more and more days hunting whitetails. I quickly realized that while traveling cross county to the Midwest from my home in Colorado I had hours of windshield time to get Whitetail smart. How the heck was I going to connect to audio information?

Answer, podcasts off my smart phone. Quickly I realized that while there were some good whitetail focused podcasts out there I just was not getting the info I wanted. Returning from last fall’s hunts I spent time listening to many different podcast forums and gained a lot of knowledge about podcasts.

I sure had a lot to learn about the how, what, why and when of producing value based content on a consistent basis for those with a passion for Whitetails. I knew that if I wanted to great focused information, useful strategies, new techniques and ideas on how it’s done right so would thousands of others.

The work really began when my good friend, Bob Roark said he was interested in the project and wanted to help bring it to life. Phew, was I glad about that for hundreds of reasons. He helped me develop the foundation of Whitetail Rendezvous. From an idea the project morphed into a passion to a build whitetail community that shares “great stuff” with guys & gals just like you.

Well as the song goes We have just begun…stay tuned all years long as we bring new guests with new content, teaching videos, whitetail insights, eBooks and introduce our Endorsed Partner program.
