Any other women who hunt?

Yes we are few and far between but we are a growing group.  I have been hunting since I was big enough for my dad to pack me from stand to pit.  I just got my second buck a couple of days ago.  Gun is in here although I am a fan of my muzzleloader so it will be what I use.  Duck season is also in so I have a many of sleepless time ahead.  Goodluck on the big one though,

One good resource is to find a local pick-up game that accepts women, and then ask the players if there are any local leagues.  Try http://www.hoopsfinder.com.

I get deer in my back yard from time to time. They eat the bark off whatever trees I try to plant.\n\n I have a hedgehog and a family of ringneck doves.  A magpie, two voles have a nest under my patio, a wren has a nest under the eave of my front porch.\n\n An owl did live in my back yard but the tree was 300 years old and fell down a few years ago. The owl moved to the woods behind my house. I still hear him hunting at night.\n\nLast spring, I saw a wild boar at dawn but that was only once.\n\nFunny thing is, I live about 20 minutes from the middle of downtown (city of 500,000). Wild, huh?

Hey, I like some of those.  I might actually pull the Fake Classified Ad on my ex-boyfriend.  I've done the Snipe Hunt...that was fun.

This is a good question.\n\nI would never, ever hunt, however I do fish.\n\nSometimes I ask myself the question of whether fishing is ethical, although I do only keep what I am going to eat and throw the rest back.\n\nIn saying this, I would never partake in game fishing - ie, deliberately go out looking to catch big game fish, sharks, etc, as I don't believe this is right.\n\nI like to fish, I like to eat fish - but yes, sometimes I feel guilty and have even cried for the fish and aplogised to it as I have taken it off the hook!  (Yes, needless to say my fiance is disgusted with me)!

There is no way it's a sport.\nWith a properly calibrated rifle, I could choose a spot wait less than six hours and kill a large mammal at 800m. Almost everytime. Fact.\nThe only skills I have are a lifetime of observing nature and a couple of shots at beercans with a .22 rifle.\nTo compare this with what nature photographers do is ignorant. Photographers not only have to get the light and background right, but they have to get perfect focus. They also are more interested in behaviour, and will spend years getting detailed knowledge of their subject in order to observe a particular behaviour.\nIt would be much more sporting to supply these b*stards with fake ammunition. Let's see them in real combat, with both parties just as surprised and unarmed. I have a feeling we would start to hear about hunters being killed after being savaged by a muskrat.\n\n(edit)\nAs usual, those holding ignorant views, base their arguments on fantasy land. Jumping at the first criticism.\nHunting for food is OK, provided the animals are naturally managed (farmed). Like pheasant and deer are in certain areas. Killing for pleasure is never acceptable and totally SICK. Just ask any native hunters. They hate what you are doing.\n800m is based on the British army's manufacturing tolerance of their standard weapon. They also expect their recruits to attain this standard. Firing a GOOD rifle is NOT difficult, it's p*ss easy.\nEven living in a wildlife de-populated area I could find wild boar and wild buffalo any night. If I could choose a wilder country, no contest.\nI have spent a lifetime tracking and observing animals, I know what I am talking about. And forget 'rifle-range' at a waterhole or animal path. I go to where they live and sometimes get close enough to touch. Most hunters will probably be surprised at these basics of tracking - ignorant drunk hicks playing at being men.\nYes I agree markmanship is a skill, just watch the olympics. But if hunters want to attain this level, get out of my precious nature and get on a range. Otherwise it's TOO EASY.

killed a whitetail with my bow at 45 yards. Longest shot I ever made. Something spiritual about bow hunting....

I've shot my moms but just to see if it was something that I might want to get into but discovered that I like my guns to much and can't wait long enough for the deer to get in that close. LOL

I am a liberal and was once against hunting.  Now that I've met a few "true" hunters, those that actually hunt for food and do it humanely, I don't have an issue with them.  They good old boys that hunt for "sport" is another issue.  I don't find it sporting to take pleasure in killing anything.  The hunters I know only hunt during the season, only take what they need, never shooting more than they can use, and make sure that the animal doesn't suffer by assuring a clear shot before pulling the trigger.

They sure do! Here in NE Ohio we see a lot of Amish during gun week for deer. Where we're at a lot of them will ride in the bed of a pickup truck, get dropped off along the road, and then drive the deer towards more hunters at the next road over.

Different people hunt for different resons. Here is mine. I eat meat. Meat comes from two sources. Farms where they are fenced in or penned up and then hauled off to be killed and cut up for sell in the store. Meat from this source is ok, but there is the issue of growth hormones in the feed and so on and fat content. The other way to get meat for eatin is by hunting. The meat from here is running wild and free and often times goes without gettin taken by the hunter. The meat is leaner and taste better to me and i know how it was handled afterwards. I know it was kept clean and processed right. I cant know how store bought meat was handled before i buy it. \n     Some people hunt with their minds toward trohpies or in the case of varmit hunting it is target shooting and maybe population control of a animal that is sometimes desctructive to property and maybe other wild animals. I dont hunt for trophies and i dont use animals for displays of my shootin abilities. I hunt for meat/food. And i will also shoot a coyote from time to time as they play hell with the baby deer in the spring and have really run down the groundhog population here. In some ways coyotes are a non native animal to indiana.\n     If people didnt hunt deer there would many more deer/car wrecks which might be you or someone you care about being hurt or killed. Ive seen cases where deer have overpopulated and starved themselves in a location. I dont like the hunting shows on TV. They give a bad impression of whats really going on. There are people who hunt who i dont like, and i dont like their wreckless attitude, but hunting in the right way and for the right reasons is not a bad thing. It is just not for everyone i guess.\n        shane
