Revealing The Secret World Of Female Hunters (Cont)

 Revealing the secret world of female hunters...

*  I was interested to know what the women would say to non-hunting women and girls about hunting.  

Most of the answers were similar:  Try it a few times and decide for yourself whether or not it is for you;  there is no other experience like this - - being in nature, being still and quiet; see God's beauty; knowing the dishes and laundry will still be there when you get home, so go have fun.

The best answer: there's always a story to tell.  True.  When you come out of the woods, there is ALWAYS a story to tell.

Hunting continues to be a male-dominated sport.  My husband and I belong to a number of hunting camps.  At a few of those, I am the only woman.  At others, there is at least one other woman, and sometimes two or three, who are ready to get up early, pull on a whole bunch of warm clothes, grab a rifle, and heard to the woods - - even if our husbands have to come to find our deer and haul it in for us.

Robin Lea poses with an impala she hunted on a trip to South Africa.  The impala was harvested on a 10,000-acre plot on private property on a hunt with the landowners.  My congratulations to Robin Lea on a very nice impala.
