The call of the wild is amazing!
i have been blessed to have participated
in many outdoor adventures in my lifetime. One of the most rewarding was my
hunt in Alabama with a group of young
women. Outdoor Women unlimited had
16 young ladies, ages 15-19 to attend a
youth hunt in Athens, Alabama. Several
outdoor industry people attended. We
were paired with first time huntresses
to mentor for three days on a hunting
experience of a lifetime. Over the weekend, i had the opportunity to watch the
transformation. Hunting can be extreme,
especially when weather is a factor. Our
conditions could not have been worse
-rain, sleet, snow and wind! After each
hunt, hunters arrived wet, cold and i must
say, a bit miserable…me included. The
girls were troopers and never quit. Above
it all, their smiles and laughter make it a
hunt of a lifetime.
