Move Over Darling, There’s Room In That Tree Stand For Two
Posted by Jennifer Jordan on August 5, 2008
I would really love some input on this subject. I have found a variety of outlooks
and opinions about this subject, even some hardcore emotion. Is hunting and fishing only fun for the guys? I think not. And, do women who hunt and fish have to be unfeminine to fit in? I hope not. Do we ask guys to wear pink and to lose the NASCAR shirt when they come with us to a “chick flick” or to pick out towels? Okay, am I stereo typing what women do besides spending time in the outdoors?
More and more women are joining in the fun and rush of hunting and fishing. Does that mean we have to be beer guzzling, farting, belching, scratching women? Well, scratch the beer guzzling because I can kick a few back with the best of them and I love it
Are the guys afraid that a woman will not be able to drag that monster buck out of the woods? Or is it that I won’t be able to hike up to 10,000 feet and carry my rifle too. Are women actually capable of killing Bambi, not me. I am after that mac daddy big buck in a rutt. What I have found is that I am able to control my emotions and adrenaline a lot more than my husband is able to while we are out on a hunt. I am cool, calculated, and ready to take a buck out. I have found that I do not shake, sweat, or cry. Sorry guys, I have seen a few of you cry after missing the big one.
What my intentions consist of are to bring more women out into the outdoors and just let them squeeze a round off or pick up their husband’s bow and nail the target. It is addicting and fun too. It is also a great feeling to do it as well as the guys are able to. It is time for more women to come out and play. Women need to find out why sneeking out to hunt and hanging out with the guys is so important. It can also be important for a relationship to share the same interests and passions for something. The outdoors can be a great way to strengthen a relationship and if nothing else have some fun in competing with the opposite sex.
I think that women can be feminine, fun, and soft as well as a huntress and cold blooded killer in the woods. Why not look good while doing it? Guys, who would you rather have as a hunting partner? A classy woman or your beer bellied, snoring in the tree stand friend? I can think of a few ways to have a lot of fun in the woods.
I will admit that it is pretty fun to have some competition but we both know who is the better of us…wink
I enjoy every trip and hunt we go on. If your significant other and kids are not involved in your outdoor activities you need to get them started today! There’s going to be lots of memories made that I will not forget in the woods and on the water!

Sounds like you’re barking up the right tree!
I’ve known a fair handful of women hunters, and most of them are still just as feminine and just as much woman (or moreso) as any non-hunter. Of course, a couple of them are belching, farting, butt-crack-scratching “Bubbettes” too… and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Welcome to the outdoors, ladies! The whole idea is to have fun!

OMG, you go girl. Or I should say woman. You’re darned right we are every bit as good in the woods as the guys are-and we can do other “stuff” too! Important stuff!! Keep on giving ‘em a run for the money honey!

i agree 100%!!! there are some true woman worriers out there…..and i believe every girl/woman needs to get involved with the outdoors. I am proud to see women getting more involved and showing an interest in what is a hunting tradition. So jennifer yes i do support your willing to get more women involved in this great sport we call hunting
