Re: getting my girlfriend to hunt

My now fiancee came from a bigger town than mine (21,000 vs 1200) and had never experienced being in the outdoors like me. I told her she should go with me sometime and take the video camera to try and video the hunt. She started to get into trying to video whenever she could. She really likes to go now, and she's going to take the hunter's safety course this year, get her FOID card, and be in the woods with a gun this fall...after we get married in September. Other than my brother, my dad, and any future kids I have, I now have the best hunting partner I could ever have. grin.gifsmile.gifcool.gif

She realized early on in the relationship that she would probably need to go hunting with me so she could spend more time with me. And I told her we would have to get married before October 1st when bow season started. grin.gif

Re: getting my girlfriend to hunt

I got my girlfriend hunting 2 years ago. She wasn't that interested in it until she went with me. As soon as she got out there and saw the animals and stuff she was hooked. Later that year she took her hunting course and began hunting with me. She hasn't shot one yet, but we have seen many deer in her two years. This year she is going to take up bowhunting as well. I can't wait.

just take her out with you and let her experience it first..dont push it...if she likes it she may come out more, and hopefully want to start hunting

Yep. Got my wife started by taking her a few times then buying her a rifle of her own and offering to get her out. Now she goes some with the rifle every year.

What really got her hooked though was putting her in one of my best stands just at the right time when she got to watch a really nice buck chasing two does in circles all around her for a good while one morning.
