Hunting, Mentorship, and the Tennessee Lease | Artemis

This episode of Artemis, Program Manager Annita Lucchesi sits down with Mary Lynn, Artemis Lease Manager in Crab Orchard, Tennessee, and Kelly Ott, a passionate hunter and mentor, to talk about the power of place—and what it means to have access to land and a community that uplifts women in the outdoors. Mary and Kelly share the story behind Artemis’ 1,700-acre lease in Tennessee, how it’s creating opportunities for women to learn skills from land management to hunting, and why mentorship is at the heart of it all. From first-time hunters to lifelong woodswomen, this conversation is full of laughs, heart, and a whole lot of inspiration. As sportswomen, we don’t fit into any box or stereotype but enjoy being our full, authentic selves. There is no one definition of a sportswoman – Artemis celebrates the million ways to be one, and uplifts sportswomen as unique leaders of the sporting world and conservation. We are a nationwide community reflecting the diversity, leadership, expertise, and sisterhood of women hunters and anglers. Artemis sportswomen encourage one another in their growth and success as hunters and anglers, and role model women’s leadership in caring for the lands and waters we harvest from and know so well.
