A social scientist, a fly fisherwoman, an archery huntress, and a hook and bullet daughter held court on an all-women panel at this year’s Rendezvous. Last year was the inaugural women in hunting and fishing panel at the yearly gathering of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. This year I was honored with an invitation to sit on the panel.

 Stacy Keogh, a sociology professor at Whitworth University, kicked things off by presenting her findings about the motivations of women hunters. She interviewed 39 hunting women of various ages across 11 states and she shared a few of their responses as well as distinct themes in their responses.

I have to dig it up, mix it up, push it around and cover it up with plants, and then make sure I don’t spend all my money in the process. The plants are expensive, but the dirt much more so. In fact, I don’t even have a square foot of dirt to my name yet – it’s rented.

Everything we could want for adventure. Everything but the dirt.

For the past six years, I have been on the hunt (quite literally!) for versatile waders that actually fit.  Waders that keep me dry no matter if I’m setting up decoys or casting a fly line.  After literally buying and returning over a dozen pairs – I’d frankly given up.  The men’s waders were too big – the boot size wonky and the length went clear over my head!  And kid’s waders weren’t much better.  Although the length and boot size was improved, the waders were too wide and the extra fabric buckled uncomfortably several times over.  But then I met Tammy of BassPro at SHOT Show and she told me about a new line of hunting apparel that is made just for women… SHE Outdoor Ladies Hunting Clothing. SHE Outdoor makes waders specifically designed for women so of course I was intrigued!

This past Sunday, we caught a story about women learning to fish in Florida and had to share it.  Check out the news story here!

The gist?  Betty Bauman of “Ladies, Let’s Go Fishing” is organizing seminars about fishing and getting women out on the water with their fishing poles.  And not just one or two women!  In the last 20 year, Betty has helped more than 6,000 women learn to fish through her program.  If you’re in Florida, you have to check Betty out.  Find more information about “Ladies, Let’s Go Fishing” here. And congratulations Betty; you inspire us!
