Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Anyone know any female hunters?

Yep, and not afraid to be in the woods alone.

My wife hunts on her own all the time. Her showing up with a deer in the back of the jeep is not a surprise(she shoots a ruger 30-06). Chases quail with her britt all the time as well. My oldest daughter, a soph in college, is all the time "borrowing" guns to go hunt by herself. They just like to hunt, with me or others.

No fuss, just curious.

Women hunting alone are akin to unicorns, heard about them but never seen one........

I was kidding about the fuss part. Actually I'm kinda proud of myself, to be honest. If you hunt the Bridger National Forest and Wilderness,Wyoming, you'll probably see a few "unicorns".

Just like a woman, to overreact....

I've been hunting whitetails alone since I was 15 or so. My husband decided to try deer hunting after we met. I thought it would be great- we could sit in the stand together and enjoy the sunrise. Well, I ended up almost kicking him out of the stand- he was very fidgety. I had him shoot a doe that came by- it was the only deer we had seen, and I didn't think he was going to be able to wait any longer. That was the first and last time we sat together. Since he prefers prairie dogs to deer, he is content these days to stay in with the kids while I go out to my deer stand. We do some bird hunting together, and shoot sporting clays together.
So, I wouldn't say we are "unicorns", more like white rhinos. Very rare but definitely of this earth.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude....

Smooth, ain't I? ...grin...

Still laffin...

KYHillChick won't hunt, but every year she mentions how ugly turkeys are, and how they're looking more and more huntable to her.

She also has this thing against squirrels. It's due to a bad experience she had on our first big camping trip. She could kill a squirrel, just to watch it die.

Hunt? No, I don't think we'll see her out there in the near future.

Actually bearmgc is being somewhat conservative. I'ld venture that just about any hunting area here in Wy is going to have female hunters.
My mom and a couple of my aunts, a few of my cousins, my exwife, wife and sister inlaw and a whole passel of family friends (female) all hunt, do their own shooting, gutting, and help with packing the meat out.

I am one. I hunt them whenever I get the chance. Being single it is always open season!

I know one and she has an equal number of tooth(yes! tooth) 70 ish y/o lady up near my deer camp.Have never met any others. If I could meet one that would hunt and fish that would be awsome.

There was a lady named HoundGirl who posted a lot while trying to collect a blacktail deer this past season. She was offered a lot of help on her hunts in Washington or Oregon, but said she wanted to do it completely by herself. She started out asking questions about which rifle to buy, which caliber, scope, then deer hunting tactics and the whole nine yards. According to her posts, she went out every single day during the season, but unfortunately, did not collect a deer. The way this lady hunted and did what she did was, and is, a tribute to all hunters. I guess she did not want to post on this thread. Tom Purdom

I'm pretty sure Houndgirl turned out to be a dude...at least, I read that somewhere...

This may not qualify as hunting alone, but any woman who will walk up to a polar bear and kill it with a bow and arrow has to qualify as a very gutsy hunter. Here is the story about Michele Leqve, the "Xtreme Bowhuntress"

Leqve Is First Woman To Arrow A Polar Bear

My wife hunts alone a lot, partly because she likes to sit in the whitetail woods, while I prefer hiking around the mule deer hills. She will even hunt alone when I am gone on a trip. Cam,ed back from a hunt in some other state once to find a whitetail hanging in the barn. She had to float it down a creek for about half a mile to get it out of the thick stuff where it was killed.

I know several more women who hunt alone. Maybe that's more common in the West than elsewhere.

Check out this girl, on the cover of the Oregon Game Regs.

She recently hosted a party where she killed everything served, it included Duck, elk, crab, salmon, goose, cougar, and some other stuff too.

She's a doctor, rides a Harley and hunts more than most guys I know.

To answer the question before it comes up, she's straight and single. Want me to send her your way Steelhead?
