    Vanessa has a deep passion for hunting and the outdoors and she loves to immerse herself in cultures around the globe. As hunting is the cornerstone of all cultures, she believes there is no better way to experience a destination. She is constantly seeking out new adventures and whether it’s climbing mountains in search of mountain goats and sheep, chasing Muskox on the tundra with her bow, or stalking elk and deer in the foothills of Alberta, she embraces it all! There is nothing quite like the adrenalin and anticipation that comes with each adventure. Vanessa is also a gear junky and is constantly searching out and testing products to assist in her pursuits. There is no need to call Vanessa a huntress. She is proud to be simply a hunter and no matter where she hunts, she is respected for her tenacity and grit. She is strong role model for all women hunters.7 Articles

    Virginia Rasch

    I’m a freelance writer and editor who grew up outside as a naturalist. My first report in grade school was on birding. For another one, I cut out photos from my dad’s hunting and fishing magazines and wrote about the camouflage of birds, mammals and fish. I studied biology and received my terminal degree in the Field Naturalist Program at the University of Vermont. My summer hobbies include hiking, biking, gardening, and wildlife and bird watching. In winter, I like to cross-country ski and quilt, but my favorite adventure is to strap on snowshoes and track wildlife. I’ve lived in many places across North America, from New England to southeastern British Columbia, and I currently reside in Quebec. One of my favorite quotes is this: “I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than to be crowded on a velvet cushion.” ~Henry David Thoreau7 Articles

    My name is Courtney Hungle. I am an outdoor writer from Regina, Saskatchewan. I enjoy spending time in the outdoors and sharing this passion with others. My dad has inspired me to get into writing and has been a role model of mine. I grew up hunting and fishing with my family wanting to do everything my older brother did. Today I particularly enjoy open water walleye fishing and hunting for big game animals, but will partake in any and all outdoor activities. To see what my friends and family are up to check out our Instagram page @hungle_outdoors and the pages of this publication.7 Articles
