i heard on the news that the sport of hunting is really picking up for girls 12 to 16. (i promise i won't get on my soapbox) Do you ,or the other ladies in your family hunt?? what are your feelings on this??

Not much to hunt in Sunny San Diego so I never got into it. Do I know how to shoot a Gun yes..!! I really don't have any desire to kill for sport or otherwise.

no desire here to blow bambi's head off.:-5



yup, I'm a chick!:-4

The concept of women as hunters is nothing new.



I am not a hunter. Not presently, anyway.

No girls in my family hunt.. I don't mind it but i couldn't do it myself.. the thought of me eating what i killed kinda makes my stomach turn. I know you didn't ask this but most of the men in our families hunt. It's my dads favorite past time. as well as my husbands. I love fishing-- i guess that's kinda "hunting" because your killing something for the purpose of eating it.. well for my family to eat it. I don't eat seafood.

I really don't have any desire to kill for sport or otherwise. my ex taught me how to shoot. but he was not into anything but target shooting. But i could never shoot a animal. Only if it was suffering.

None of us hunt but we know how to shoot a gun. I use to work with a couple of women who liked to deer and turkey hunt and went every season.

Nah, women are supposed to protect and nurture, not kill.

I think it goes against our nature and I dont respect it at all.

;) Thank you.

none of us hunt but it's very common here in Texas.

hunting season is around the corner here. Very noisy at dawn where i live. It will be silent one minute then it sounds like a drive by shooting. No sleeping late here during hunting season.

I have had 2 GFs that were hunters and I know of plenty of young girls (age 12 - 16) that go along hunting with the family.

I have a goodly number of female friends that hunt and know a few that can out-shoot just about anyone they meet.

Maybe it's simply more common here in Pennsylvania?

We also do not have to provide food from the wild for our families.

So hunting a lot of times is not a food issue at all.

When we owned our sheep & cattle station I used to shoot "wild" pigs & foxes.

The only reason was because they used to kill our baby lambs.

I am so happy I don't have to do that anymore.
