I ain't a lady, but I did date a woman that went hunting with me. A couple of times she had to drive separately because she couldn't get ready in time in the morning (i.e., she had to put on makeup and get her hair straight). She even had a tackle box for her makeup.

Now, my wife is competely different. She doesn't wear much makeup and she has no desire to shoot an animal. However, she has mentioned that she would like to come out and watch me and my dog, Nitro, waterfowl hunt.

ok fabs. now we got her sniffin' the bait. now keep her interest and next christmas buy her one of those perty litte english side by sides in 16 gauge, or maybe even a 12 if she's not too petite and teach her how to shoot trap. then when she's really chompin' at the bit, take her out for upland birds and waterfowl. i think they have bismuth shot for the 16 but i'm not sure they have steel. but by that time you might be thinking about a good auto for her.

make sure you have the firearm fitted specifically for her. in case you haven't noticed women are built a bit different than us guys. they have built in tissue that is absent in us. also they don't have the reach we do. i seen so many girls and ladies bring in guns to the shop that were fitted absolutely crapy. they would mount the gun then have to creep forward to try to get a good sight picture. they have a shooting pad especially for ladies thats named after one of the greek goddesses get her one of those. tell her it's named after a goddess for a goddess, that ought to score you a few points.

i taught a shooting course at my local range and women were much easier to teach, one reason being they didn'y show up with pre-conceived ideas. most were first timers and required no unlearning. that helped greatly.

sincerely, i hope you can get her interested and she becomes a hunting buddy.

i sure miss not hunting with my wife. i hate to admit this but most of what i know i learned from her. why, because i never really hunted untill i got in the military. and if it had not been for that i would never have met her.

have a good one.
