I never dreamed I’d marry a hunter let alone be one myself, but after seeing what a huge part hunting played in Gabe’s life, I went with him once just to experience what he loved so much, and the rest is history. I immediately fell in love with being in the backcountry of Idaho and the adrenaline rush and awe of getting so close to God’s amazing creation. The bugle of an elk took my breath away. I also have the privilege of being a homeschool mom to five children, one of which loves to come hunting with us too. And though they all don’t hunt, it’s a family event when it comes time to processing the big game meat in the kitchen. We’re a DIY from field to freezer family. In my “spare time” I edit articles for Backwoods Pursuit and often tease Gabe that I wish he would’ve become a mystery novel writer instead. “I lift my eyes to the mountains. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2
