This week, my interview with Steve at The Maine Outdoorsman went live. Steve said yesterday 200 people hit his site viewing over 500 pages. That is a lot of people reading about little ole me and hunting. Why? When I think of women who are in the general public's eye and hunt, I can think of 2 - Country singer Miranda Lambert and Sarah Palin. Why only two? Why is the female hunter such a fascinating thing? (I should probably note that I do not have cable so any and all female hunters on the hunting stations are lost to me. I'll keep it to the general public because that's what I am familiar with.) People/media were fascinated by the fact that they could get footage of Palin and her gun, shooting (and gutting) animals but I feel like the nostalgia would be lost if they had the same footage of McCain. Lambert and her hubby Blake Shelton tweet photos of their kills, and comment on what/where they are hunting. I only know this because I follow both. That's it....

Thank you for this post. If you’re more interested in big game that offers more of a challenge, then you might want to try moose hunting. There’s much more preparation involved, and you may have a harder time finding a target and taking it down, but you’ll feel accomplished by the end.

ReplyDeleteThanks Mark. We have a lottery system here for moose. I've been applying for years and hope to get drawn at some point. Moose is on the list to hunt!
