“Better late than never” might be a good way to describe Julie Schuster’s hunting experience. Growing up in rural Minnesota, she spent plenty of time outdoors and in the woods as a youngster, but wasn’t seriously introduced to hunting until years later when her husband invited her along on an elk hunt in Colorado. Just an observer on that first trip, she soon celebrated success of her own by taking elk and antelope, and the rest is a part of her growing history as an avid hunter. She has since expanded her interests to archery and black powder, hunting deer, turkey, dove, hogs, mountain lions, and just about anything else when given the opportunity. She will not hesitate to step into a bass boat or heft a fly rod on a mountain stream, further rounding her experience as a consummate outdoorswoman.

Working at the Nashville location of the nation’s largest outdoor supplier, Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World, Julie stays up with the latest in the hunting and fishing industries. Not only is she a capable writer, but is also an accomplished photographer. Her articles have appeared in local publications and are regularly featured in West Tennessee Outdoors Magazine. You can also hear Julie on 104.5FM, the Titans Network out of Nashville, where she is a co-host on Outdoor Trail Magazine each Saturday morning from 5-6AM. Julie and her husband Darrell live in Pegram, Tennessee.
