The Deer Huntress

The Deer Huntress writes, hunts, and wears a lot — a whole lot — of camouflage face paint. She has a soft spot for humane society commercials, which makes it no surprise that her home is run by three rescues, Dixie, Titus, and Avery. TWH is married to an admitted huntaholic who is refusing treatment and oftentimes lost for days only to be discovered wearing a ghillie suit. She can be found, with him in tow, surely, at the nearest blind, tree stand, or whisky emporium.

Feel free to follow TWH on Twitter, @WritingHuntress, Instagram @WritingHuntress, her blog, www.blogspot.huntlikeyourehungry.com, or by email, huntlikeyourehungry@gmail.com.
