**SOUND ON FOR THIS ONE** Although I always strive to be Wren’s biggest cheerleader, she often turns out to be mine. I love everything about this little human. #dadscheerleader #birdhunting
Thanks for the video steve.brewster5
How do you like to cook 🦆?
As fall, and now what feels like winter is upon us, we have made the transition from the water to the field. Wren has been involved in a few hunts in the past but she has shown so much interest this year. She has been loving it all. From deer hunting to pheasants and now waterfowl she is totally obsessed. I can’t explain how happy it makes me to share all of the joys of outdoor life with her.
It’s never to early for some anatomy and physiology. She’s working on getting her facts correct but we like the effort either way 🤣
I was raised from a very young age gutting and processing the meat that hit our table. It wasn’t just a way of life but a necessity. It’s been so fun getting to relive all those memories again through wren. Wren is so curious and I love that about her. #sustainablefood #fromfieldtoplate #fearlessgirl
On the eve of our rifle opener I feel it’s only fitting to reshare this awesome little clip.
“ It’s only after finding something your truly passionate about that you can learn the pain of failure and how to pick yourself up and persevere. “
We hope you all have an amazing hunting season and are blessed with bounties of the field! Stay safe and don’t forget to get your kids out there with you and show them where our food can come from. #wrenegade #huntingseason2020
If i could describe Wren in one word it would be FEARLESS. Maybe at times she is too fearless... but what a quality to posses. As a parent we want to protect our kids from absolutely everything, but if we do how do they learn? #fearless #coolkids
Finding new kinds of bugs is like Christmas coming early! I was never super intrigued by bugs but since Wren came along she’s forced me to learn a lot more with her constant questioning about them. It’s refreshing to have a change of perspective through a child’s eyes. #itsabugslife #entimology
We honestly cannot say enough how much we appreciate all of you! I can’t believe our little account, which we started just to show our friends and family what we were up to, has turned into 10k friends joining along with us too. Your constant support and words of encouragement mean everything to us. We look forward to sharing with you many more adventures and memories to come. We love you guys! ❤️❤️

The more legs the better in Wrens opinion! If you know her at all you know how much she loves her big stoneflies. Especially when they adults! She carried this guy most of the day before releasing it to go make more stoneflies. #salmonfly #entimology
It is Never to early to educate. This may seem a bit extreme to some, but for those of us raised around the harvesting of our own food this is very normal. Wren is so keen to be a part of the whole process, so We take this opportunity to teach and learn. Do you know where your food comes from? #freerangemeat #sustainableharvest
Although Wren gets lots of time with Papa, it’s hard to compare to time with him on the water. ❤️ Seeing these two’s relationship brings me the biggest smile and warms my heart beyond belief. We love you papa and we hope we have so many of these days ahead of us. #papaandwren #flyfishingwithpapa
#throwbackthursday
Man am i glad her opinions on shopping have changed! Fishing for the win. Always fun looking back. #2yearsold
“Let’s get me that one dad”! Haha okay kido... just wait 7/8 more years 😂 Hope the time passes quickly! #littlehunter #bullmoose
One of the hardest working crew members right here! She never wants to miss out on any of the process. Already dreaming of next season! #mvp #hardworking
Practice. As a parent it can be hard to just let your child practice... it seems simple but our parental tendencies are to try to get in there and fix every little thing. For Wren she just needs the freedom to do it on her own. It’s amazing how much she learns from short concise instruction and imitation. She never ceases to amaze me. Can’t wait for summer again and more casting practice. #castcastcast #hopperseason
Crisp mornings in the blind are hard to beat, Especially with this crew! It’s not about pulling the trigger... it’s the collection of these moments that holds the true value. #fallhunts #huntingcrew
Well i think she has all of these identified... might be time to add some saltwater species! bassproshops #fishidentification #whenthewatersfrozenfindanaquarium
Getting in some hard water action the past couple weeks. It’s no flyfishing but it will do for now 👌 Do you guys do some hard water fishing to get through the winter months?? #icefishing #icefishingnation
She’s starting to get the hang of the tipup game! Although we are primarily catch and release fisherman we have no problem legally retaining of fish. It has been a long time since we cleaned a fish so Wren had one goal, catch a fish we can eat. Let’s just make it a bit tastier species 😊🤣 #hardwaterfishing #winteriutdoors
Let’s talk about gear! Winter can be a challenging beast when it comes to keeping kids warm for any period of time outside. After our stories this last week we had lots of questions about what Wrens wearing to stay warm. Here’s a list of what we have found to work best to keep her toasty... this is no shameless plug for any of these companies... it’s just what we find works!
• Ice breaker knee high kids wool socks
• bogsfootwear kids -30 boots
• Generic fuzzy pants
• long sleeve dsgfish shirt
• patagonia kids winter coat and snow pants.
• for the real cold days we stick a kids Patagonia puff coat on under the winter coat too.
• toque
• gloves have been a tough one to perfect but currently she really like a soft fleece mitt that she can get on and off herself.
This has been the best formula we have found so far. It’s still evolving as we constantly try new stuff as well. I know we have said it before but when it comes to gear for your kids invest in the best gear you can. It will save your days outside. I hope this answers a lot of questions. Never hesitate to reach out with any other questions👍! #gearsearch #findwhatworksforyou
Hunting down bugs accounts for large portions of our days on the water... such a great way too teach wren about what the fish are feeding on. She’s also getting a lot better at letting the bugs go as well. Sometimes even with a little squeal 🤣 #grasshopper #hopperseason
