my husband is the one who got me started hunting. He got me shooting a bow first, then he set up a blind in early season where we would see lots of deer. He also had me a comfy seat in there. As long asshe see lots of deer, andis comfortable she'll be good. Its really not a good thing to take a first time hunter out in freezing temps, andput them in a stand where they won't see many deer and be uncomfortable. That could turn her away fromhunting. Make it exciting, once she sees one, or gets one she'll be hooked. I am andI hunt every chance I get.
