RE: how do I get my girlfriend to shoot a bird
make it fun, interesting,and compliment her on her progress. make your first few trips into the woods brief and productive go where you know your going to see and or get birds even if its a guided hunt. if she likes to camp ( mine does ) rent a cabin and make it romantic and comfortable. if you add all the ambiance, it will be a no brainer the next time you ask her to go. make sure that you tell her what Rob Keck always says " Its the gobble that makes the hunt, not the gobbler " and you will be able to tell her that she is the reason the hunt was so much fun.
