Thread: WOMEN HUNTERS? YOUR THOUGHTS!!

If you got a "barby doll" trophy missus maybe not a good idea to drag her bush.BUT there ARE plenty of good kiwi girls out there who can carry a pack, gut an animal etc .And hold there own round the campfire

Yep....... I'm a lady hunter (and no I don't hunt ladies.....like some of you fellas do...!!!).

I am very much at home in the bush and have shot a few deer/goats in my time and wrestled the odd hog or two.
I don't mind having to gut an animal and will happily carry it out of the bush. I've got a couple of reasonable heads which I'm proud of.......located/roared up, shot/gutted & carried out entirely on my own. I seem to have my best luck when out there on my own......(no pressure I guess)
Occasionally a bit of extra muscle power would be good. But there is absolutely no reason why us woman can't be as good as you blokes. It just depends on how you're brought up.....but it's not everyones 'cup of tea'.

For me.....I always loved the bush, exploring, and stalking animals......but I get as much of a buzz out of getting some good video footage or a good photo. It's not just about killing.
One thing I have learnt, is that you get to see some amazing sights of animals if you just watch and wait.....if you're not breaking your neck to shoot the first thing you see.
Oh....and by the way......I still look and act like a woman (I don't even have hairy arm-pits!!!!)

Bugger Bushrat, I was getting mildly excited and thinking of ditching the missus and taking up a new kind of stalking until you put that picture in my head. Good on ya though for getting out in the hills.

Awwwwh drat.....!!!

Went for a wander last week.......well actually tagged along for a pig-hunt with some mates. No pigs but did disturb a sika stag.......no gun though cos' we weren't after deer.
Man did I have sore legs for a couple days.....definitely an unfit bushrat.....!
But it was great to get out there to get some fresh air......spent the next day digging out gorse prickles though.
You fellas that live in that stuff......ya can keep it...!!!
Give me supplejack anyday!!!

Oh I know that feeling well! I drive a desk for a living and the older I get the harder it is for me to keep fit and the easier it is to stack the weight on so now when I get in the hills I am sore as hell in the legs the next morning. But that said I will keep getting out there for as long as the legs will carry me.

Good on ya Rushy.
Yeah I don't intend on being a couch potato for a good while yet.
