Starting from such a young age, Jamie knows all the ins-and-outs of hunting and nature.

What are some helpful tips for first time hunters?

“Here is a tip for the ladies... DON’T EVER, I repeat, EVER feel discouraged simply because you are a female. No man, woman, child, horse or sheep can ever make you feel less of a hunter because you aren’t a man. Times have changed and there is NO reason females can’t do anything and everything a man can do in the field. Keep grinding, listen to advice, learn from mistakes and fall in love with every experience hunting gives you.”
