female bowhunters
 

Just wondering how many female bowhunters are out there. It took me 14 years to get into hunting. I got my bow alittle over a year ago. My husband has hunted all his life and now our girls are also into it. They hunt withrifles and bowsbut I prefer my bow. I want out this past archery season with my husband but didn't get anything. We saw lots of deer though everytime we went out.

This is my wifes second year of bowhunting. Here is a picture of the deer she got this year.

HI and welcome:). I didn't get a deer my first year out, either. The next year I got a doe. Keep at it. The work's hard but the rewards are great. Especially when that big buck you kill is bigger than your husband's:D

Not directed at you Passthru79. We were typing at the same time.:)

Thats quit alright. This is the second year in a row my wife has shot a bigger buck than me. It doesnt bother me at all, I just tell her that she must have had a very good teacher.

RE: female bowhunters
 

That is a real hog. Man I would die to see one like that...

RE: female bowhunters
 

Ha, Ha. Good thinking;)

My sister bow hunts. She has shot a lot of deer over the years including some nice bucks. She missed a dandy 10 pointer this year[&o]I felt so bad for her.

RE: female bowhunters
 

That's a great buck your wife took Passthru.

Welcome to the site ken3gswife! There are a few of us women bowhunters on here.

Here's my '08 buck

Awesome, another lady bow hunter!! We need more of you around. Good luck this upcoming season!!

Todd, I never knew your sister bow hunted!! Thats pretty cool!!

RE: female bowhunters
 

Some of you women put us guys to shame. Never could get my wife interested in any kind of hunting.

RE: female bowhunters
 

Okay, time for the real question.


Are there any single female bow hunters willing to relocate to SC? :D

RE: female bowhunters
 

Lol...you forgot to say....please send pics of yourself cleaning game along with a pic of your 4 wheel drive and a complete financial statement.;)

RE: female bowhunters
 

BTW...some nice deer there ladies.

RE: female bowhunters
 

hahahaha.. Amen

RE: female bowhunters
 

I know several women bow hunters, and as Cougar said, they can hold their own when it comes to hunting and killing deer thats for sure!!

RE: female bowhunters
 

I'd say so Diesel!! My mom was very successful when she still bow hunted. She's shot 5 bear and I believe 7 deer with her bow. I wish she still bow hunted but she does still come on all the blood trails around home when my brother or I send an arrow through a whitetail.

My Mom has bowhunted for about 30 years and started with a recurve. She has taken many deer and a few decent bucks. She killed one of the top typical archery bucks for a MI woman in 2000...second pic. She's 53 now with a bum shoulder. She has a crossbow permit due to her shoulder, but instead she sees a physical therapist to keep her shoulder strong enough to pull her compound back. Yeah, I'm pretty proud of her.

RE: female bowhunters
 

I'd be damn proud of her too Vito!! My hats off to your mom!!

RE: female bowhunters
 

Yeah she is a pretty cool lady. She hada 135" 8pt at 15 yards during the '06 bow season. She said it was slightly quartering too and she wasn't comfortable with the shot. It later fed broadside for 30 minutes at 25-30 yards which is outside of her effective range. If she had her crossbow, it would be on the wall. She never saw it again and doesn't regret using her compound for one second...at least that is what she says.;) Here is that buck still in velvet.

RE: female bowhunters
 

wow congrats ladies great bucks!

RE: female bowhunters
 

I've rifle hunted since I was 14. Just started bowhunting last year (I'm 31 now)and love it! You hear and see so much more deer behavior this way!
Very cool! Glad to see other ladies out there!
