Why would you guys think it has anything to do with men? We women have to eat too. I live in Northern Canada and have been successfully hunting since I was a small kid.

Yep woman here. And I am much more likely to meet men that I am compatible with doing hunting activities then perusing match. com. No, I am not hunting to meet men. I am hunting to feed my kids and because I like it. But if I should meet a big, hairy Alaskan man that I don't scare away while doing it, all the better.

You give them the right to vote and the next thing you know......
Actually, this doesn't surprise me. The last few decades have proven women can be just as capable as us guys. As least the guys are accepting it now. Maybe that's the difference. A woman's place is apparently where ever she wants it to be.

Women once learned in woodcraft are quite proficient marksmen and hunters. They seem to have more patience.

And pay attention......where Guys don't.
Was taking a hunters safety course....we were headed out west, taking a buddies kid along, so we all took the HS course together,(This is a great idea, BYW)
Anyway several women, girls in the course...when we went to the range for a shoot, and was at the .22 range. for 3 shots.
Guys says, "This thing shoots about 1/2 in the right, so aim left".....I didn't and hit right, then sighted over and drilled the next two.
The lady that was right before me was looking at her target....all three in the bull.....and the guy says, "She listened to me...you guys all gotta try it out first".

And any normal woman would have adjusted the sights before the course began so they would not have to say the same thing over, and over, and over...!
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
My wife is an avid hunter. In my experience if the women are involved in hunting the kids are more likely to get involved and they're the future of our sport.
