DID YOU KNOW...

..that Women's Hunting Club members are doing great things!

	Spencer Tomb helped start the Kansas Wildlife Federation's Hunting Fishing and Fur Harvesting School. He was school coordinator for 11 years and taught duck hunting and Wingshooting. He has also guided in a disabled turkey hunt last spring and is participating in a dove hunt soon.
	Rhonda Hunter has quite a list of accomplishments: My Name is Rhonda Hunter, I go by the nick name coloradobowhunter. I am married and a mother of two boys. I home school my children, and when we have extra time were in the field hunting. We call it "Hunting 101." I shoot Pro Staff for High Country Archery. I also shoot for Easton Arrows. I am a strong believer in our Rights to Bear Arms, and speak openly about it. I am a lifetime member of the International Bowhunters Organization,(I.B.O.) for this reason.... more
	Shana Walsh hunts with her family: "We take our two daughters with us hunting. They are now 10 and 7. This weekend, our 10 year old called in two elk, using a cow call. They were so excited. It's the best thing in the world to share with our daughters. I wish more parents would include their children in their activities. More dads need to include their daughters in hunting and fishing -- the bond our daughters have with their dad is beautiful. That is the best accomplishment." Shana also took a beautiful 5x5 Montana Whitetail in her second season of hunting. Her husband was so proud of her that he had a shoulder mount made, and shows it to everyone who visits their home!
	Tink Nathan... well, Tink needs a separate page!
	Lydia Lohrer writes a column entitled "Keeping the Tradition" for Michigan Out of Doors Magazine. It's the first column of its kind in this state - featuring the non-traditional hunter's role in passing on the outdoor legacy.She brings to light the role of various minorities in the outdoors including women, minorities and those with disabilities. She also segment produces and co-hosts the first ever national hunting and fishing show exclusively hosted by two women. Lydia does all this while raising two toddlers!

You can be an Outdoors Woman!

Hunting and fishing are the best stress-reducers ever invented. Far fewer people would need therapists if more folks took up an "outdoors" lifestyle. It's not only good for us, it's great for the children. Ladies, get your kids away from the video games and into the great outdoors! The whole family will benefit.

If you're just starting out, by all means try the "Becoming an Outdoors Woman" program. Take your state's hunter safety class. Try a bass fishing class at the local community college. (Yes, they do exist!) Send e-mail to an established woman hunter or fisherman; you'll be surprised at the help you'll get. Be sure to join the Women Hunters Club on Yahoo, for lots of great camaraderie, advice and support. In addition, your local Fish & Game Department will have valuable information to share.

Women are the fastest growing segment of the market for many sporting goods retailers. Magazines are starting to take notice and include articles written by and for female hunters and fishermen. I have been fishing for a long time, but just started hunting in 1998, at the request of my 6 year old son. Many people, male and female, have been gracious enough to assist me. This page is an attempt to make it easier for other women who want to enjoy the outdoor life.
