Sportswomen reported hunting deer more than anything else in 2012. What’s your favorite type of game to hunt?

With the locavore movement inspiring new hunters and anglers, camo suddenly becoming fashionable and increased visibility of the sportsmen community through shows like Duck Dynasty, you’d think the sportsmen community was multiplying at a rapid rate.  Unfortunately, that’s not the whole truth.  According to a 2012 report from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the number of hunters and anglers increased for the first time since 2006 (9 and 11 percent respectively). And some of this increase is due to the small uptick of female hunters and anglers according to a July Responsive Management survey.

As women who hunt and fish, we are the silver-lining; we’re key to keeping our nation’s hunting and fishing heritage alive – Camo truly is the New Black...

We’ve got guest bloggers lined up to share their hunting and fishing stories – get ready! We’ll launch the Camo is the New Black blog on Monday, January 20!

Happy 2014 – we look forward to hearing from you!
