UplandFeathers

Have you heard that SS magazine actually put a woman on their cover? It’s the first time the 20-year-old magazine has had a woman on the cover and I say: What has taken you so long? The cover photo is of hunter and model April Moritz. She’s attired in Filson; not exactly the Gucci or Prada many models as accustomed to wearing. And the runway is far from NYC, Paris or Milan. She’s in a praire slough near Veblen, SD. Moritz is not just another pretty face. She’s the real deal. She was born and raised in rural Minnesota with parents who both hunt. And her outdoor adventures don’t just involve shotguns and birds. She is a professional snowmobile racer and loves to tear up the woods on dirt bikes. SS blathered on about women being the future of hunting. I say women have been there all the time, you just didn’t recognize them under bulky insulated clothing.
