I didn’t pick up a gun or a bow throughout the entirety of 2025. Hanna was the only member of our household who took to the woods in search of adventure and wild game. Despite not being a hunter, I’ve somehow accumulated a closet full of camouflage clothing, and while most of my gear comes from companies focused on anglers, I wear plenty of “hunting” and hunting-adjacent clothing, too.

The bottom line is that just because something is targeted at “anglers” or “hunters” doesn’t mean that it can’t be used by the non-target audience.
