My name is Courtney Hungle. I am an outdoor writer from Regina, Saskatchewan. I enjoy spending time in the outdoors and sharing this passion with others. My dad has inspired me to get into writing and has been a role model of mine. I grew up hunting and fishing with my family wanting to do everything my older brother did. Today I particularly enjoy open water walleye fishing and hunting for big game animals, but will partake in any and all outdoor activities. To see what my friends and family are up to check out our Instagram page @hungle_outdoors and the pages of this publication.
