If there is something you would like me to write about, just ask.
I am co-owner of Wolf Creek Outfitters, Inc. (WCO). I feel it is important for everyone to get a chance to connect with Mother Nature and the outdoor life. I look forward to sharing my many unforgettable adventures.
I grew up in a rural area of Southwest Colorado. I spent my time as a child near the river in front of our home, and hiking in the hills behind. It is there that I began my adventures and learned to respect the outdoors. My father hunted to provide for our family, and taught me to dress and process the animals. My mother taught me how to prepare wild game and to live off the land. In my teen years, my parents divorced and I moved to the city with my mother. It is there that I learned to truly appreciate the outdoors and all my fantastic experiences as a young child.
I am an NRA Certified Shooting instructor. I am on the elite Field Staff for Prois Hunting and Field Apparel. I also write a blog column for the Women’s Outdoor News called Mia and the Little Gal. I am on the Pro-Staff for TenPoint Crossbows. I am a member of and on the PR committee for the Women’s Outdoor Media Association where we promote women in the outdoors, primarily hunting, shooting, fishing and archery. I am also a member of the Professional Outdoor Media Association. If you are interested in ladies hunting apparel, I sell Prois hunting apparel for women who are serious about hunting. So if you want to know about quality gear, I can help.
At WCO we offer private land hunts in New Mexico and Colorado. I spend more than 150 days each year in the outdoors hunting, scouting, shooting and fishing. In the past I have hunted elk, mule deer, black bear, turkey, game birds, predators, varmints, hogs, carp and have many more hunts on my bucket list. I enjoy participating in firearms courses, archery courses and various ladies outdoor events. My outfitting company promotes, and I guide, ladies and children for their first big game or turkey hunt. Come hunt with me!
