Women hunters are becoming very popular in the hunting sports. I remember growing up and having to wear my father’s orange coat; because they didn’t make anything at that time for girls. You see in our era of growing up women didn’t hunt or there wasn’t a lot of talk about women hunters. The women were taught to cook, sew, clean, and become a wife and a mother. You didn’t hear too many stories about ladies hunting.

My first day of deer hunting in West Virginia, was a very good day. I was so excited about going out and seeing all the wild life up close.   My husband Rick and I got up at 5:00a.m. to get ready for an exciting day. We loaded up our truck and headed to our friends farm. [...]
