Female hunting websites

Here are a list of websites that I found that have great female hunting apparel, female inspired tools for hunting, jewelry and so much more!
 


This is my favorite website that I have found. I am looking into purchasing their descent line of shampoo, conditioner because let’s face it females and males use different products I currently am using a general sent free shampoo-body wash in one, and it makes my skin dry and my hair feel nasty.. I recently bought a shirt from their website that says "real girls eat wild game" love it! and I a lot of compliments on it! They have other great shirt to check out too! I also just recently orderd their breast cancer shirt! supporting racks!


I also found this website I have yet to order something from them however I really like their gun shell earrings!

Descent Products

Currently I am using Primos Descent shampoo-body wash as a decenter . I also use the Primos descent spray bottle to descent my self. I find that this product works great! I have yet to spook a deer because of my scent! This product works! However I am not satisfied with the shampoo, it makes my hair feel gross. I am researching other descent products. So far I have found that "Just For Does" has a line of hair and body product for "Does". I am interested in this product and will be writing a review as soon as I get some!

First Doe

October 20th at 5:00 p.m.

I was on my way home from Green Bay when I got a phone call from my Grandma Linda. She called to tell me that the farmer was in the field, taken down the corn. She said that I should get out there because he’s going to spook out the deer hiding in the field. After her phone call I got home and got dressed and out to my stand in 15 minutes. This was the fastest I've ever gotten ready! I walked out waved to the farmer in the tractor, because to get to my stand I walk the edge of the field. I wanted him to know I was out there hunting.

I sat in my stand at 3:30p.m. I watched the farmer do two laps around the corn field and then he left. This gave me the chance to see where deer cross the woods and enter into the corn field. Shortly after sitting I watched three does walk out of the woods and work the way in the clearing of the corn filed to my stand. As I watched does come closer to my stand they were so cautious of every sound they heard. They would stop ears tip up, they would look then continue to eat the corn and move along the field. As I watched the three does I picked the large doe as my target. As they came around the last corner to my stand the three does were eating and making their way closer. Then all of a sudden they all froze and looked into the woods. I hadn't heard anything but I was closely watching and listening. I saw movement then horns my heart instantly started racing! He raced out of the woods antlers down and had his eyes on my shooter doe. He came stomping in. He spooked off the two smaller does back into the woods. He stopped and would stomp his foot and the doe would stomp back. It was so intense watching them! He chased her so that they were both standing in rage right in front of me! I tried getting the bucks attention by whispering "psst" I tried three times getting louder each time nothing would make this determined buck stop. Finally after chasing I got a good shot at the buck.

However a branch that I had debated on removing, when putting up my stand, was in the way. I tippy toed it and tried to shoot missing the buck. I watched my arrow go clear over his back. Hearing the arrow he walked back in the woods not giving me another chance to knock another arrow and try again. I was glad to have missed rather than taking a bad shot, and taking a chance of not finding the decent size -six pointer-buck.

After shooting and missing the buck, the shooter doe just stood there watching the buck walk away. So I quick knocked another arrow, she took two steps I whispered "psst" she looked and just like that I watched my arrow go into the shooter doe! As soon as I saw where the arrow had hit I knew I made a good shot!

After shooting the doe my adrenaline was insane! I felt a needed to get out of my stand as soon as possible. So I climbed down and raced to my jeep to plug in my conveniently dead phone and call some family to come help me track and take care of the deer.

I had found both arrows while waiting on my younger brother and his friends to come tracking. I had also worked my first blood trail. Not even fifty yards away from my stand we found the doe. This was one of the greatest moments, knowing that I made a successful shot and a successful hunt! I can’t wait to go out again and hopefully have the same luck and get a buck!





A big thanks to my younger brother Ryler and his friends for helping me track and gut my first deer!

Female camo

When I first began hunting I had the HARDEST time finding camouflage that fit me. This is key to a successful hunt! Wearing too big, baggy, of camouflage makes a lot of noise when you’re moving. Camouflage that is too tight or short can prevent a female hunter from being comfortable and wanting to keep pursuing the hunt. However I have noticed this year (bow hunting season 2012) that more hunting apparel company’s are making a girls line of camouflage. Currently I use... camouflage (with lots of extra layers underneath because I cannot hunt for long when I am cold.. I will admit it that I go in if I feel I am to cold. FAILED HUNT)

I recently saw that sent blocker has come out with a line of female camouflage I tried it on in the shields store at the Appleton, Wisconsin mall. It seems to fit comfortably however I would suggest buying camouflage and practicing shooting and moving around before committing.

Currently I am still having trouble finding glove that are small enough for my hands that have the hole for a release. If any readers have any suggestions please comment!

About the Author

 


I started shooting archery about four years ago. I was a junior in high school and I was dating a boy named Kyle who was sponsored and shot archery frequently. I would go and watch him shoot archery leagues. While I watched him shoot I saw that other girls shot archery too. I told Kyle I wanted to try shooting. So… He helped me pick out a bow that I felt comfortable shooting. Then I picked out a sight, arrow rest and some arrows. I shoot a Fred Bear Young Gun, and I shoot carbon express predador2 arrows. I started practicing shooting at Lena Swamp in Oconto Falls, Wisconsin. Wade the owner helped me get into a comfortable stand and get comfortable shooting. It takes a lot of practice to get a good stands down. Also while doing this I developed some bad habits which wade helps me correct them. I still go to wade when my shootings off and he always helps me correct and get back into my stands. When I first started shooting I would go through a list of checks. 1st left hand holding bow is relaxed 2. Same anchor point 3. Relax shoulders 4. Focus on target 5. Slowly pull trigger. I still go through this list when I shoot.

Before I had met Kyle, and begin my passion for shooting bow I had little experience of being a hunter. My Mother’s side of the family is big into bear hunting, especially my grandpa Neal. My family always goes up north (Dunbar, Wi.) and fight over who gets to go along, being a female and only the men hunt unless one of the females has a tag, so I typically lost my seat in the truck to one of the boys...

This was a little discriminating however I still tried every time to get a spot. I have been bear hunting with my family since I was a little. I have a lot of great memories bear hunting with my family. I am applying and praying that I get my tag soon to pursuit a black bear with my grandparents before they are too old for hunting.
Also I had little experience of hunting with my Father and his friends and family. I can remember driving in my Dads truck to the old trailer in the woods that my grandfather, would stay in while hunting. NO BATHROOMS... as a young lady (and the only girl at deer camp, this was the part I hated most. However I did go hunting with the boys, we did deer drives, walking what felt like hour up and down corn fields. My favorite memory of hunting is with my uncle Brian. I sat with him in his stand, which consisted of a lazy boy recliner in an ice shack on the edge of a field. We giggled and farted the whole time. (Girls do fart)

Since meeting Kyle I have gone goose hunting. But have yet to get one! I have also met some awesome people shooting archery like Kyle.T who I went bow fishing with the past summer (2012). I had blast and pursued three carp! I am very thankful for the people in my life who have shared hunting with me!
