About This Blog
Johnna Kerres resides in the Quad Cities and has been involved with hunting and the outdoors since birth.

Among being passionate about family and the outdoors, Johnna also has a love for journalism, videography, and photography. She began her career as a television news reporter and now works in the Communication Department at a local university. She hopes to provide a female perspective and encourage other women to get involved with the outdoors.
