To celebrate President’s Day we’re talking to a legend in the sportsmen and women community, Brenda Valentine aka the First Lady of Hunting ®. 

Brenda is often credited with starting the current women’s hunting movement and directly responsible for recruiting more women into hunting than anyone in modern history. Brenda grew up in a family where wild game was the primary table fare and good hunting/shooting skills were learned at an early age. The lessons of woodsmanship, animal behavior, and handling a firearm that once provided meat for the table were also building a firm foundation for Brenda to become a respected leader and a role model in today’s world of hunting and conservation.

Brenda doesn’t just hunt turkey, check out this beautiful elk!

During SHOT Show in late January, the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSFF) released their latest study about women gun owners. The study surveyed 1001 women from ages 18-65 about their buying behavior and participation in shooting sports such as target shooting and hunting.  This NSSF info-graphic further highlights the study’s findings:

The other day my wife and I got news that our new baby, due this December, is a girl. As we lay in bed that night, my wife expressed her desire that I teach our daughter to hunt with the same enthusiasm that I use with our 2-year-old son. After assuring her that I would, I got to wondering how I’d go about fulfilling my promise.

It’s no secret that there’s a shortage of female representation in the hunting world. Women comprise some 52% of the American population yet account for only about 9% of the approximate 12.5 million licensed hunters in the country.

This discrepancy can be partially explained through human history...
