Meet Allison Hunter Voges, Southern Indiana Native And Author Of Children’s Book
Meet Allison Hunter Voges, Southern Indiana native and author of the children’s book “Chasing Deer”. Her book, “Chasing Deer” is the story of a child on their first experience bow hunting whitetail deer with their family. It is a celebration of the outdoor lifestyle and an encouragement to immerse children in the outdoor experience. “For so long I’ve waited for my time to come. Deep breath. Steady hands. My heart pounds like a drum.” Filled with the joy, respect, awe, and pride that come with hunting and being in nature, Chasing Deer is a kid-friendly reminder of the wonders of that first hunt.
Allison spent most of her childhood in the outdoors of Southern Indiana. Some of her favorite memories were tagging along on a quail or squirrel hunt with her father, or fishing with her grandparents and cousins out on the pond. Any other opportunities were spent walking the creek banks or exploring the land on horseback. After college, she took up archery and found a real passion for the sport. Shortly after picking up her bow, she asked a friend to take her on her first whitetail hunt which fueled her enthusiasm for the outdoors. These days, you can find her out hunting and fishing every chance she gets; whether it’s in her home state of Indiana or somewhere else in the US. In the summer months, you can find her noodling big catfish in Illinois, Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky. While she loves the quiet and peace that hunting and fishing brings, she’s even more passionate about sharing her love and enthusiasm for the outdoors with anyone she meets. Some of Allison’s fondest memories have taken place around the campfire with friends, telling stories about past hunts and dreaming of future adventures. Â
Allison is the Indiana Chapter President of the American Daughters of Conservation, an organization of women dedicated to North American conservation efforts and inspiring women and young girls to expand their knowledge of the outdoor sporting world. Each year she puts together several hunts and conservation efforts for ADC members both in Indiana and across the US. She is an ambassador for a variety of outdoor companies as well including Savage Arms, DSG Outdoors, Stihl, Hiding Hilda, and Big Tine. Other companies she has worked with in the past include Bushnell, Alps Outdoors, Hardy Facepaint, ScentLok, Insights Outdoors, B3 Archery and a variety of others. Her real goal in life is to inspire and encourage other women and youth to step out of their comfort zones and into the great outdoors.  This was one of her biggest motives for writing her children’s book.
Chasing Deer is a labor of love for all children growing up in the great outdoors. Allison wrote her book in the hopes it would plant a seed in future generations for outdoor adventure and open up doors of communication between children and adults when it comes to hunting and all it entails. Raising future generations of outdoorsman is critical for funding conservation and wildlife management. Additionally, children raised in the outdoors learn key life lessons you rarely get anywhere else; lessons of patience, pride, respect, loss…the list goes on. Chasing Deer is a book written for every child raised to chase the wild. This book is a great read for children anywhere from two to eight years of age. Deer tracks are also hidden throughout the book for children to look for and learn about.
If you are interested in purchasing a copy of your own, the paperback version of “Chasing Deer” is available on Amazon. The hardback version can also be purchased online at BooneAndBuffalo.com. Author signed hardback copies are available for purchase at The Great Outdoors located in Jasper, Indiana, Southern Indiana Butcher Supply in Ferdinand, Indiana, and Pumpkins and More Farmers Market located in Santa Claus, Indiana.
If you would like to learn more about Allison and her book you can find her on Facebook (Allison Hunter Voges) or Instagram (@amhunter11). She has written a variety of articles and blog posts for various magazines and acted as a special guest for a few podcasts which can also be found at https://linktr.ee/Tornadoalli.
