I've known of a few women hunters but only really knew one, my ex-wife. She didn't hunt when I met her, didn't even have a gun. Now she has her own place in Madras, Ore, her own job, six of my guns and her boyfriend doesn't hunt! I wish more women did hunt, I haven't had much luck with the women I found in bars!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, by the way (thats what BTW means isn't it?), she also got one of my boats and the motor and several fishing rods and 10 jars of power bait! And I was only with her 11 yrs!

IFG (means I forgot), I also had her first Antelope mounted for her and she took it too!

Well, dang, you don't expect the woman to leave behind her first antelope, do you?

She must have been smarter than I was. The judge didn't believe me when I said all the hunting and camping stuff was mine and my ex wound up with all of it.

You can email me at dianaprojectlv@aol.com. No website set up for the program. I have more students than I can handle and not enough resources, so we are not advertising. I will, unfortunately, not be taking on anymore students in Nevada as I intend moving next year and I don't think there is a qualified person to replace me here. I will likely work with some of the existing programs in Washington first while I get settled before determining whether it is worth establishing the Diana Project there. I'm moving to a fairly remote and rural area, so I don't know what the demand would be yet.

My wife never hunted until she married me. My first wife passed away after 28 years of marraige. My second wife came from a family where only the boys hunted. I live on a farm in Maryland and have some other properties in Maryland. I took her on her first hunt and "Bang", she was hooked. I would be in the office and call home to see what was for dinner. My stepchildren would answer,"We don't know". Where is mommy? Up in the Bowstand. Wow!! She has since harvested deer with a shotgun, muzzleloader, and bow, Her passion in the bow. She has been to Maine, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland hunting for Black Bear and Alabama for Deer. She goes on various LADY only hunts and has a great time. She invites numerous ladies to come hunting whitetail deer on my Maryland properties with her. So any of you ladies looking for a place to come hunt with a lady in Maryland, post your reply. First choice would be someone willing to trade a hunt for just about anything for a deer hunt in Maryland. Secondly, we would be interested in a wife/husband team interested in the same type trade. By the way, she harvested a magnificent Nine Point Buck this year with her bow.

My wife will NEVER hunt, but my daughter is showing ALOT of interest. She's 5(that's how old big brother was when he got to go) so next Spring will be her first time out with me on a Turkey Hunt. She has the gift of Gab, so I am going to have to plan this one out :lol:

I myself don't hunt - I just have never taken the time to go. I enjoy eating the meat though. My husband grew up hunting and we are hoping to get our daughter interested in hunting. We would love to pass on the appreciation of hunting to her. I hear it is very rewarding to track your animal and at the end of the day have something to show for it - a freezer full of good meat. I would love to see more female hunters.

My girlfrien's daughter is 15 now and a real woods girl i started teaching her to shoot the 22LR with 3 to 9 Bushnell scope . Her first target was a T H coffee cup and she didn't miss a shot at it yet . A couple weeks ago I took her rabbit hunting and she fired 4 shots at rabbits and got every one . So far she is batting a 100 . She never had a rifle in her hands before . So I guess I know 1 feamale hunter

I know about half a dozen women that hunt. My oldest daughter is a keen hunter and my wife is my constant hunting partner and has been since we met. She has taken more than her fair share of black bear, moose, whitetail and mule deer. She has also been a licenced big game guide for 15 years.

She is pretty good as skinning beavers too. Not that I take advantage of that or anything. :yes:
