We don't sit, we stalk them. That is if you're talking about deer. Obviously you can't sit and hunt rabbits which we do a lot. We do find a spot and look wait for woodchucks though, which are very good eating.
On the hunt where I got my first deer, we were crawling through some brush and my hair came loose and got full of mud and briars. (That's a problem because my hair goes to well below my knees.) But I got my deer and Mama managed to get the briars out of my hair.
We spend a lot more time in the woods scouting than we do actually hunting. That can be a great way to spend a day-make a picnic out of it. Just finding deer or the place where rabbits and woodchucks hang out is a kick.
Girls vary in size, but chances are a girl will be smaller than her boyfriend/husband with less upper body strength. So you need to make sure she has a lighter bow and a gun with a recoil that doesn't hurt.
I'm really, really small so my husband made sure that I was properly equipped for successful shooting and hunting. So it's always been great fun for me.
