Women Hunters: Are they welcomed into your group?
My question to all men and women to give a honest and open opinion about women hunters.
A new study within the US during "2004", it has been identified that women were one of four key out-door related markets with the highest potential for growth with in the next 2 years.
It also specified that women were also the fastest growing component in the shooting sport and hunting industry. Now more than 2 million women hunt in the US every year and nearly 4 million women target shoot.
Another study being commissioned by the NWTF remarked that "uncertainty, inexperience and accessibility" were the most common reasons women resist in participation in out-door related activities.
Men, do you find yourself giving acceptance in having women hunting within your "Hunting Group"
Or do your friends with female partners have to go on their own and hunt because you do not accept females into your hunting group.
Women hunters I hope that you reply to this forum, give your opinion on how you have felt hunting with men.
Were you accepted into the group or did you feel like a outcast, how has it helped or hindered your progress to becoming a sucessful hunter.
