Women

I wish women would get more involved here.
My house is full of girls. Including the dog.

Whilst not all of us can get out as much as we would like or be professional deer stalkers we must recognise that a lot of us men are providing for our households best we can.

I'm guessing the true reason you seldom hear the views of female deerstalkers on this Site is they are not "Kit Queens" in the way male members are. As in they don't salivate over the latest knive steel, thermal performance rating, period correct scope mounting or even if they dare own a Creedmoor.

In short, they are better able to conetrol thier equipment desires and needs.

The ladies stalking group Artemis have all my cull days, their rolling over an average of 10 deer a day for a team of 5/6 and that’s just me!

Their carting about all over the country stalking, one of the women rolled over 40 fallow up to the point i last saw tribe!

They can roll stuff over

The biggest problem with the women is they listen to bloody idiots who don’t do the job, they spend a lot of money on stuff they don’t need because they are ill advised by people who think they are God’s gift!

When really they are far from it🤣🤣
 
I think women are a lot more sensible then us blokes. Generally better shots, less likely to feel the need for extensive bragging and putting everyone else down, and being petty idiots ...and I will put myself into the last category before anyone gets offended because they are a snowflake :lol:

My wife is a cracking shot but has no interest in killing stuff and has better things to do with her spare time then posting nonsense ... I of course have plenty of time 👍
 
The guy who mentored me used to run rifle courses for The British Antarctic Survey teams. They need training in case they get into trouble with Polar Bears. (I know, I know, but they also work in the Arctic).

He said that the women were always the best shots because they listened, and thought about what they were doing. He said he'd also heard anecdotally that they were usually the ones who resolved any issues in the field, to very good effect.
 
10 deer for 6 rifles isn't many with all due respect.

A blind man could do that in Norfolk.
I've seen in another thread that your lifetime deer tally is 1325 animals.
I'm pretty sure I've also read somewhere that you've been shooting for 40 years or so.
So that equates to around 33 deer per year, which with all due respect isn't very many.

Conversely, I know of a few lady stalkers who are running at around the 300+ deer per year mark.

100%

Why do you think I no longer entertain male stalkers?

Brain dead idiots who think their gods gift to stalking and they’re really not!
 
There are a lot of assumptions in this thread. It's hard to know how many women are active on the forum.

I'd encourage women to participate more, and not write off the forum due to the few chauvinists/misogynists/idiots that taint the forum. There are a lot of helpful people on here with a lot to share regardless of gender.
You make a good point. Its the same as saying all male stalkers think they know it all or are idiots...untrue and ignorant and doesnt do anything positive.
 
If any female members on here are reading this and have any suggestions on how to get my wife interested in shooting/stalking, please send me a message. Even if it's just range shooting, I'd love to be able to share it with her and knowing her she'd be really good at it. Fortunately my young daughters may be interested in time.

With all due respect I am only a recreational stalker and its not my job. If it was my job I would obviously shoot 300+ a year.

I also dont live in a high density area like Norfolk where its like shooting fish in a barrel.

I am also not a one trick pony shooting deer I also do a lot of fox control , rabbit control , pigeon/ crow control.

I could shoot more deer but struggle to get rid of them and to be fair its not difficult shooting deer especially when you are tripping over them.

Tell the boss that if she can shoot a better 3 shot group then you she can pick the holiday destination :lol:

Obviously she will pick it anyway but might get her to have a go 👍
 
Lots of the usuals posting on here, still not a single sign of a lady, just hairy arsed blokes getting to squabbling.
Im gonna try and change the title of the tread to see if theres a least one woman who can be tempted to give a thumbs up or god forbid comment.
