RE: Need Help to convince mom that girls should hunt
Can you hunt with other family members?
If so you can approach it from the standpoint that whatever you can do as a family is important.
"Families that play together, stay together".
Also, many women do not hunt and miss out on having an appreciation for not only the forests and land, but for the animals as well. My wife has killed a deer before, but does not hunt very much at all. Because of her exposures to the out-of-doors she has a great appreciation for nature. We live out in the woods, and spend a majority of our time as a family out-of-doors doing something, an aspect of our relationship that has made us closer as a family.
Lastly, hunting is a very, very, safe activity, and this can be backed up by numerous statistics.
Good Luck! Most of the outdoor women I know are hard working, caring, and are in touch with life a little more than others. Hunting is a very positive focus, and many quality relationships can be found through hunting contacts.
