[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1561685, member: 91402"] My wife came from a family of hunters and trappers so wild meat was a large part of her life long before I arrived on the scene. Still, she is a girly girl and quite petite so she was never encouraged to hunt herself. She did have a snare line for rabbits though. We married young and moved west after university and I got into hunting in a big way. She was encouraging but more excited about me being successful than trying herself. The turning point came when she realized the only animals I was interested in bringing home were old, tough and sometimes smelly. If she wanted meat that was tender, fat and sweet she would have to shoot it herself. I made up a rifle that fit her and she easily took to shooting it. Women seem to have no expectations when learning to shoot so they take instructions well and aren't worried about their initial performance. Consequently, they become better shots than their husbands. She never did achieve the same level of passion for hunting as me but we went on many good and successful hunts together and since we retired we have done more. The biggest boost in our later years was buying quads. She loves going out on her quad, locally after deer, and in the north country after moose. [/QUOTE]
