Tess's Outdoor Life & Adventures

I’m not just a news anchor—I’m an outdoorswoman through and through. Whether it’s noodling for catfish, hunting whitetail, or casting a line at sunrise, the outdoors isn’t just my passion —I’m fortunate to get make it part of my job. I bring stories of wildlife conservation, adventure, and the people who make the outdoors what it is to our viewers. But I don’t just cover the fun stuff—I also dig into the tougher stories, from wildlife crime to the legislation that shapes our land and resources. If it involves a tree stand, a trotline, or a debate at the state capitol, you’ll probably find me there—telling the stories that matter to folks who love the land as much as I do.
