Woman big game hunter6/12/2023 She is raising her sons to respect women and value a women’s place in the outdoors. Help women, regardless of age, be the best version of themselves in the outdoors.Įrin's hope is that as her daughter ages, she will never feel out of place or discouraged because of her love for the outdoors. That passion for teaching others pushed Erin to become a Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Hunter Safety Instructor and a Bowhunter Education Instructor. As a chapter leader nothing brings her more joy than putting a bow, a gun, or a fishing rod in someones hands for the first time and watching them fall in love with the outdoors. After a life time of competing against men, feeling like she alway had to prove herself and her skills, she found a new avenue for sharing her passion and love for the outdoors. Why Wildlife Women? Wildlife Women provides Erin the opportunity to engage and share her love for the outdoors, surrounded by other women who share who love and passion for the outdoors. They truly have inherited their mothers love and passion for being outside and want nothing more than to be outdoors every chance they get. Much like their free spirited momma, they have deep love of the outdoors and enjoy nothing more than to have a fishing pole in their hands. Her two oldest children have already harvested deer, and her daughter even has a turkey under her belt. She as taught them to be stewards and conservationist of outdoors. She carefully built a strong foundation for them to live the way she does today, with respect and admiration for all that God has created. As an adult, she still roams the mountains chasing game of species big and small, but her passion for the outdoors does not stop there.īeing the mother to three free spirited, sunshine seekers means sharing her passion and knowledge of the outdoors onto the next generation. Erin spent her childhood running freely through the mountains, learning the property lines of the family farm by landmarks that are still etched deep into her mind today. From running barefoot on muddy creek banks as a child, tucked deep in a holler of Eastern Kentucky, she was able to snag her first creek minnow on a homemade sugar cane pole. Hunting teaches you patience, discipline, ethics, sustainability, appreciation, confidence, perseverance, and hard work.Įrin was born with a love for the outdoors running deep through veins and that still defines her to the very core today. I'm passionate about being a part of Wildlife Women because I'm able to share my love for the outdoors and open up more opportunities to the ladies to be more involved in the outdoors and pass the tradition on to our future generation. I love getting in a gym or doing home workouts so I can stay healthy and be fit to be able to pursue the outdoors more everyday. Even though I haven't taken a lot of big game, I still enjoy the peacefulness that comes while being in the woods and hearing and watching the world come alive. I later grew a love for hunting which was easy, because I already had a love for the outdoors while growing up in it. Worked in the Sheriff's Department right out of high school while attending a community college and found my love for shooting guns. I grew up as a Fire Chiefs / preachers daughter who spent most of my time on a lake fishing with dad or the whole family. I'm a coffee lover and a momma to two German Shepherds. Melissa a mother of three wonderful kids who are my life.
