Description

A celebrity hunter, outdoorswoman, and social media star invites readers on a spirited wilderness adventure of self-discovery. For the new wave of women and girls in outdoor sports, Eva Shockey defies the stereotype that hunting is a man's game. In Taking Aim (now in trade paper), this Outdoor Channel star tells a very personal story of choosing the less-traveled path to a rewarding life. For her, that has meant staying rooted in wildness, hunting as a way of "harvesting" food, caring deeply about sustainability and healthy eating, and getting closer to God in nature. Her story will empower women and girls to reject gender-based stereotypes and expectations, and inspire them to pursue their own unique dream.
