Pride and Prejudices

You know personally I love it when people make assumptions about hunting. They're either ignorant or stupid, and I enjoy educating them. I've heard a lot about the unfairness and inhumanity of hunting. My favorite is when some hates the idea of hunting, but will eat meat from a store with no problem. Have they ever heard of Food Inc. Trust me hunting is a lot more humane.

The Facts

• Hunting controls herbivore pop. when carnivores cannot 
• Without pop. control the animals will overgraze the land they need 
• The goal is to hit the animal in the heart (quick death) 
• Many animals are shot later in the year (young can survive on their own) 
• Animal harassment is not allowed 

The second stereotype that tickles me pink is when people under estimate my hunting abilities because of my age, size, and gender. This fall my friend Liz came hunting with my family and I. Two 18 year old girls with my dad, 2 uncles, and a family friend. At the end of the day it was Liz and I that skinned and quartered 3 pronghorn by ourselves. The guys sat nearby drinking beer and talking with the B&B owner.

This goes to show that when they get the chance guys will be lazy, and girls are awesome. I really enjoy hunting, and I really enjoy going past what people expect of me.

So here's my message to all lady hunters out there. We know girls hunt better. So let's prove it to the world.
