buck huntin girl...i agree 100%. im working with her..but its hard shes 20 and i have to start at the beginning..i will have to teach things that ive never been taught..they were just common knowledge because of how i was brought up. id LOVE for her to get into shooting. but being she was never around guns and still shys away when i pick one up in my room shows me shes not ready yet. i take her fishing STILL after the whining episodes. i make her promise to listen to me and bring what i tell her to bring. this summer i actually had her drive seperatly so she could sit with me..but if she got bored she was free and didnt hinder my fishing. she ended up staying every night though. shes like a little kid..gota keep her interested. i gave her the bait bucket and a stick this summer. keep her busy for hours. i understand though shes not used to everything yet. she will get there. its just not going to be one of them things where i say hey lets go buy your hunting liscense were goin to kill some deer tomarrow. i dont know if i could ever get her in the woods....i took her down small trails fishing and she didnt like that much..so being in the woods might not work. idl ike to see her get into shooting..archery would be awesome. shes very interested in my bow and watching me shoot. she thinks its so neat. how that "stupid ugly thing" can " throw that stick so fast and far" and "that stick will actually go through a deer" another thing thats slows down progress is i goto college full time and still work. she works 2 jobs....so time is limited alot. thats why we do a good bit of fishing because we get more time in the summer...

id never discourage anyone from hunting. just gota build people up to it. just because someone is interested in hunting doesnt mean give em a gun and take them. i think it takes teaching and undestanding first...just the way i think. it was easy for me...i was born with a fishing rod and a gun...it wasnt a question of IF i wanted to go..it was WHEN are we going!
