My name is Ashton Dippel and I currently live in Austin, Texas.  I grew up on a commercial whitetail hunting and cattle ranch in a small town in the beautiful Texas hill country! Although I went hunting with my dad countless times while growing up, I did not take my first whitetail until I was 17 years old. After that, hunting has been a great passion of mine. While learning the ins and outs of hunting and conservation from my dad, I now have so much love and appreciation for the outdoors and wildlife.

 

Growing up in the hunting industry makes for an interesting childhood! We moved to our ranch full-time when I was 11 years old and a few short years later our whitetail management and turkey hunting business was up and running! My dad guided while my mom cooked the meals for our hunters - right there in our very own kitchen! I grew up getting to meet people from all over the country and heard countless stories of hunting, fishing and outdoor experiences. Once I began hunting myself, I too got to share my stories at the dinner table. 

​

One of my favorite parts about hunting is the bond that forms between hunters. For me, the most important bond is with my father and I am so thankful that we share this passion. His guidance and knowledge of the outdoors has helped shaped me into the outdoor enthusiast that I am today and I am beyond grateful. We have made so many great memories hunting and fishing and I look forward to making many more with him!

Entering the hunting world was intimidating for me at first. While growing up I honestly did not know many other girls who hunted, so it was hard for me to jump right in there with the guys when I had so many questions. Thankfully I had my dad to help, but even then there were questions I had that I wanted answers from a female point of view. I am so excited to be a part of the Huntress View team to hopefully help females out there in need of the same thing I was. I cannot wait to share my stories with y'all!
