Seven reasons why women should hunt.

When we look back to the time, Hunting was a sport that was considered only for men. Hunting is male-dominated throughout history, thanks to Teddy Roosevelt and Ernest Hemingway.

 However, recently a shift has emerged. Women are now taking Hunting as both preference and necessity. Women are now picking up their crossbows and guns and are crowding the woods.

Now let's move ahead and see those 7 seven reasons that entice women to hunt:

 Spend some time outdoor: We live in a fast-paced world where every individual took a lot of stress. Due to high responsibilities at work and home, most of the individuals spend time indoors. Several studies have shown that people who regularly exercise and spend time outdoors have a lower stress level. Hunting is the prime way to reap such benefits.

During Hunting Season, it allows you to have quality time outdoors with Mother Nature, which reduces stress, boosts your energy, and increases strength.

 

2.      To eat clean straight from Mother Nature: You need to pay a premium if you visit a local supermarket and pay a premium for a piece of quality meat. Or you can head to the fields and bag your own meat-free from any hormones, steroids, and antibiotics.

 

Many of us are concerned about the organic food trend. And there is nothing more natural and organic than free-roaming animals. 

 

When women practice Hunting by themselves, they know exactly what they are feeding to their family and where the food came from.

 

3.      Get a chance to spend more time with friends and family: Hunting is an amazing way to strengthen your relationship with fellow outdoorsmen and women. Many studies have shown that a high percentage of female hunters are involved with the sport to spend more time with their loved ones.

 

While the act of shooting an arrow from a crossbow and firing a gun is done solo, the camaraderie that comes while celebrating a great hunt is something that every hunter cherishes the most. Even at the end of the day, when you are leaving the woods empty-handed, still somewhere, there is a satisfaction that you got a spend a day outdoors, making the bond even stronger with your loved ones.

 

4.      To challenge the inner you: Never underestimate Hunting. It is not an easy task. One has to hike miles into the mountains on different terrains. This sport tests your physical and mental strength. Many women train themselves the whole year to make their deer season a successful one.

 

Strength and endurance training are an essential part of the hunter's pre-season training. A hunter has to ensure careful calculation and precision to ensure that he/she must take a perfect shot that is one-and-done rather than scaring off or, worst, leaving the target non-fatally wounded.

 

5.      To know about gun safety: Without a doubt, Guns are the weapon that is an immense polarizing topic, but they are not considered less dangerous when the person who is handling it knows how to use it.

 

In most U.S. states, it is mandatory to have a hunter's gun safety class before you are legally allowed to purchase a hunting license. The course teaches you proper gun handling and vital hunting safety fundamentals, but they also educate the beginners regarding ethical hunting practices.

 

6.      Reversing the gender stereotypes: As we have already discussed in our introduction, Hunting has long been associated as a male-dominated sport. With women's role only came into the light is to cook it till perfection.

      One should not be surprised when a woman says she is a hunter. The Hunting is a natural activity in the food chain and shouldn't be associated with any particular gender. A woman can get out in the field and enjoy the benefit of responsible Hunting and succeeding in the hunt like a man.

 

7.      Contribution towards the environment: Hunting is a sport that keeps the animal population under control. This overpopulation can lead to wildlife-vehicle accidents, preventing disproportionate food sources in a given area, and providing aid to the conservation efforts.

 

Every year, several wildlife biologists set hunting relations for every region based on their local animal populations' study. These experts determined the need for population control; hunters play a pivotal role in preventing overpopulation where it is needed.

 

Takeaway:

Gone are the days when Men leave for Hunting, and their wife and girlfriend stay in the apartment. Now women with guns and crossbows are becoming a staple on hunting trips; they plan their hunting trips very well. They are providing food and resource for their families without heading to the local grocery store.
