It’s hunting season! For a lot of women this means donning the camouflage and sharpening the arrows or cleaning out the rifle. Since the hunter is one of the most popular Girls Can’t WHAT? designs, I think it makes the perfect choice for the November giveaway.
What You’ll Win
A Girls Can’t WHAT? Hoodie with any Girls Can’t WHAT? character from the shop printed on the front in whatever size you need. These Hanes Ultimate Cotton Pullover Hoods are thick (but not bulky), comfortable, durable and guaranteed. I own one myself with the drummer design on it and it’s incredibly soft and comfy.

The biggest obstacle to women learning how to hunt could be having to deal with the reality that they have just shot and killed another living thing and now they have to deal with the bloody carcase that remains. It’s a LITTLE bit more involved then learning to put fishing worms on a fish hook! (I don’t hunt myself – I love to eat meat but I would rather not have to deal with all of the blood and guts – and I am a man).

I would imagine that the hardest thing about being a woman hunter is the “boys club” attitude associated with this pasttime.

I grew up in the country and all the hunters I saw were males. I did get to go out with a friend of mine when I was in middle school. The hardest thing for me was having to listen to the sexist/racist jokes and not knowing what to say or how to act because I was a guest in their “boy’s club”. So, I would have to say the hardest thing for female hunters is finding their niche in the “boy’s club” unless they want to hunt alone. I have never seen an all women’s hunting club but I think it’s a great idea!

I used to help my dad scout out the best hunting ground when I was a kid. We would get up extra early, make pb&j’s on cinnamon bread and head on out. Apparently I was really good at it because he and all his hunting buddies ended up calling me the “Wide-eyed Deer Finder.”

so great! you have great ideas. This would be great for my aunt who is a hunter and a firefighter! also my cousin who is the only girl in the group this week with the guys. :)
The biggest obstacle is being able to leave the kiddos at home and not worrying about them while you go have “quiet” time.

I think it’s important for a parent to get thier daughters involved in hunting, it gives them one on one time,without the distractions of life, ie phones, TV, computor. It gives them time to talk and experiance hobbies together, thats why I and my husband have taken our daughters first to the shooting range to help them feel more comfortable with guns the on to hunting.

This is a cool contest, i support all woman hunters, i am one myself, i began hunting with my father in fourth grade (squirrel,rabbit,pheasent).I was histatic when my father got me my own 4/10 double barrell shotgun for christmas.My stepmother who has now passed away from cancer was a awesome hunter and would usually be the one to come home with the deer instead of my father.bow and arrow hunting even.god bless her.anyways i think that one thing that woman have the biggest challenge in is if deer hunting actually getting the deer in out of the field due to the heavy weight of the deer or any other kind of animal weighing lots of weight.

Convincing their husbands to stay home and watch the kids so they can go off and have a fun afternoon in the woods!

I have been hunting for several years now. My oldest daughter has been hunting for three years and my youngest daughter can’t wait to go (she’s only 7). I think there are several challenges for women who like to hunt. I agree with Michelle, one challenge is trying to find other women who like to hunt. Men don’t seem to have a hard time finding “hunting buddies”. They can grab a friend and go. Most of the time women hunters go with their husbands. I do. I love the time my husband I share while hunting, but it would be nice to find a female hunting buddy or two. I’m glad my daughters like hunting, I get to share the experience with “the girls”.
P.S. The second biggest challenge, I think, is finding hunting apparel and accessories (bows, stands, gloves, etc.) that are made to fit women. I usually have to buy small men’s and even small men’s sizes are sometimes hard to find :)
