Atlanta, GA – Wilderness Bonds is proud to announce that legendary firearms manufacturer Mossberg will be the official sponsor of its upcoming Oklahoma Hog Hunt, a high-energy, all-female adventure aimed at expanding the tradition of ethical hunting and field mentorship.
At the center of the action, the ladies will take to the field with the Mossberg Patriot™ Carbine chambered in 7mm PRC, a rifle designed for accuracy, performance, and field-ready maneuverability—making it the perfect tool for pursuing fast-moving feral hogs.
Joining Wilderness Bonds hosts Christen Everly and Katey Powers is Ericka “Rikki” Riquelme, a seasoned recreational shooter and certified Range Safety Officer (RSO) who will be stepping into the field for her first-ever hunt. Rikki’s transition from the range to the wild exemplifies the mission at the heart of Wilderness Bonds: empowering more women to embrace hunting through hands-on experience, guidance, and mentorship.
“Watching someone take their first steps as a hunter is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do,” said Everly. “Rikki is skilled, safety-conscious, and ready for this challenge. Bringing her along not only highlights the accessibility of hunting for women but also shows how important mentorship is in making it happen.”
The Mossberg Patriot Carbine™ is built for accuracy and confidence in the field, something Powers says is especially valuable when mentoring new hunters. “The 7mm PRC offers flat shooting and great terminal performance, which makes it ideal for hogs,” said Katey Powers, Vice President of Sales at Media Lodge and co-host of Wilderness Bonds. “It’s lightweight, easy to handle, and pairs perfectly with new shooters who want to focus on the experience—not fight the rifle.”
Wilderness Bonds is a Media Lodge production that blends adventure, mentorship, and storytelling to showcase real women in the outdoors. With Mossberg’s support and innovative firearms, this hog hunt is poised to inspire a new wave of female hunters across the country.
