About Me
Jackie Bednara – Founder, Hunt & Fish Wives
My name is Jackie Bednara, and—you guessed it—I am the proud wife of an avid hunter and fisherman.
When I first met my husband and he told me that he loved to hunt and fish, I just thought that meant he enjoyed spending time outdoors. As an outdoorsy girl myself, that sounded good to me, and I looked forward to our outdoorsy life together. But, I had no idea at the time what I was getting myself into!
Over the years, I have learned that being the wife of a truly avid hunter and fisherman requires you to take on a very unique lifestyle that comes with certain challenges.
I’ve spent over a decade learning how to overcome the challenges and embrace the adventure. This includes learning how to cook and process wild game, coordinating our schedules around the different seasons, and budgeting our finances to accommodate the outdoor recreation expenses.
Who knew hunting and fishing were such expensive hobbies?
Most importantly, I’ve learned how to find balance in our home, support an exciting livelihood, create lots of special memories, and appreciate the unpredictable life of a hunt and fish wife.
I hope to encourage and help you do the same!
