In my quest to finally get all the moving boxes unpacked (yes, I've been here 2 years), I discovered a box of miscellaneous ammo. It kind of felt like opening a Christmas present when I started to take things out of the dusty box. The box and contents have never been wet but have been subject to heat and cold over the years, and have been moved from Missouri to Washington, to Idaho, and back to Missouri. There’s no corrosion or rust on any of them, but some do look like they were carried around in a pocket a time or two.

We would spend all day putting out set lines for big flathead catfish in the Edisto River or catching Copperhead bream in Salkehatchie Swamp. I also learned how to swim in the dark water and strong current of the Edisto. And in the Salkehatchie ..I learned that life lesson of always looking for snakes, because they are probably in every stump and every low hanging tree.

Read MoreWearing your prescription glasses to shoot firearms can create a larger problem. If your prescription glasses break while wearing them on the range, you risk glass fragments flying in your eyes at a pressurized speed. Personally, I am nearsighted and over the years I have tried multiple types of approved range glasses. Without my prescription lens being in the range glasses I can’t see clearly. Unfortunately, you cannot purchase your prescription range glasses at a shooting range.
Lauren Hill is a passionate (and busy!) member of the outdoor industry. She is not the type to watch from the sidelines – she is the type to jump in and work. When she sees a need, she meets the need. Where she sees a gap, she fills the gap. That’s why she became the founder of outdoor lifestyle brand ReelCamo Girl.
Hill loves the outdoors and has been hunting, fishing, free diving, and shooting her whole life. She is the daughter of a hunter, oldest of seven siblings, wife of a Marine Corp Veteran and Police Officer, and mother. She created ReelCamo Girl to empower women in the outdoors and also to show them that they don’t have to compromise their femininity; that they can still be feminine holding a rifle or bow. The mission, Hill says, is to champion the fierce sportswoman, who thrives on providing for her family, teaching others about ethical and responsible hunting, and living out her passion as an outdoor enthusiast.

From the moment after my first deer hunt, I fantasized about my dream deer on the wall. Most hunters probably do; the deer that outdoorsmen or women's dreams are made of.

While hypothermia is generally associated with getting lost in the snow and extreme cold weather its possible to be affected in temperatures over 40 degrees Fahrenheit when dressed inappropriately – especially when wet and in windy conditions. Pay attention to your body and keep an eye on your companions anytime hypothermia is a possibility – think cold, windy, wet, old/young, tired, and under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Any time body heat is lost faster than it can be replaced, hypothermia is a danger.
