Thread: WOMEN HUNTERS? YOUR THOUGHTS!!

Ok right off the bat I'm not sexist this is just some early morning light banter so any ladies out there please dont take offence.

Lets start.... Yes I have a lovely partner (Lady) And do generally like the fairer sex apart from 1 week amonth when I try and make myself scarce!!!

My partner loves the water and asked me to teach her how to dive and tag along, whislest I enjoy doing things with my partner I like doing things on my own or with only my male mates..... So the deal was yes I will teach you to dive but theres is no way your coming on a boys trip or am I spending all my ive trips with u....

Have u seen how long it takes a women to get a dive suit on ??????!!!!!!!

Anyway I digress, on the way home from Oamaru hut with no sucess I thought I would drop into the Taupo ADULT SHOP ( hunting and fishing) not the other type of adult shop.

I was shooting the shit with one of the lads from H&F when a young fella (19- 22 yrs young)walks in proud as punch with his lady on his arm and a a fist fill of wedge (Cash) and proceeds to buy himself a brand spanking new rifle. The guy from H&F told me the young fella had got his misses into shooting and was going to take her hunting in the bush so she would inherit his old rifle.

At this point we both looked at each other and laughed out tits off!!!

This poor lad had clearly not thought this thru!!!! I couldnt imagine anything worse that taking my misses into the bush god bless her.

She would bitch and moan about the heavy pack, or that she had broken a nail , let alone get blood on her hands while gutting out an animal.

Argh bugger it good luck young fella you will need it!!!

Now before I finsih , hunting for me is not all about shoot shit whilst I enjoy some game meat as much as the next bloke . I am realistic to realise that not everytime you will go for a hunt will I get lucky. And just enjoy going hunting with mates with a similar bond getting out of the house roughing it a bit and getting a way from the misses.

Women and hunting for me no thanks!!! 3-4 days in the bush with my misses NO F&*king WAY!!!!!!!! Your thoughts???

I will now sit on the couch ,coffee in hand and let the entertainment unfold.

If you take your missus you could get lucky every time

Nah mate the honeymoon period as over ! I t takes more than a heavy pack and me smelling like shit to get my leg over now. Hard liquor and chocolate do the trick now ( a different type of hunting) !!!!!

or not

Some how the idea of coming across a good Doris kitted up to the nines while I am slogging up a hill has an element of fantasy to it. Wouldn't be the one that took her there though. Can't shoot the shit around a camp fire with a sheila.

don't take them unless they're as keen as you or they'll want to go home as soon as you arrive

Howdy neighbour! Yep I love talk shit around the camp fire and taking the piss out of each other... Do that with a women and it ends in tears or me in the dog box again!!!!

My beloved always wants to go hunting with me but I explain that the distances walked to get to some areas and terrain hunted are out of her capability but in saying that when I am out shooting jackos or pigs on farmland I allow her to come as I know she can handle getting around on a farm and getting a shot or two off with the .22 keeps her happy she wont touch centerfires as one of the 6.5x55's I had gave her a good boot at the range, she didn't like that then she tried the 12g pump I had she dropped it out of fright with the exclamation of shit that has got a kick to it when it went off but didn't help that she had loaded a 3 inch magnum shell into it now that was funny.

As a general rule of thumb, if you have to preface a thread with "I'm not sexist", what you're about to say is usually pretty damn sexist.

If you can't put up with your own partner for three days in the bush then fair enough. This "poor lad" obviously could.

Whoops forgot to do punctuation check, thanks for the grammar lesson

If you got a "barby doll" trophy missus maybe not a good idea to drag her bush.BUT there ARE plenty of good kiwi girls out there who can carry a pack, gut an animal etc .And hold there own round the campfire

taken a couple of girls hunting with me, one to root the shit out of, the other was a GF
the GF winged like buggery and cryed when the spanyard grass stabbed her and when she fell over, and when she got scratched by the matagouri
she did cook me dinner and fetch the water. she never asked to come again. which was a great move.

This is a fantastic thread

As a lady hunter myself, I'd say chicks out in the bush are few and far between. I can understand why you wouldn't want to take a barbie into the bush - I wouldn't either!! I have carried my fair share of gear on my back and never complained but alas I'd say I'm a bit more into it than most girls. One of my most memorable days out with my bestie (39yo ex-Army driver with an insane love for gun and knives) was when he taught me to skin a rabbit! Needless to say I got fur and grass everywhere, I think the dog ended up being the only one eating fresh meat that day!


I've seen plenty of middle aged women out there tramping, are some of you guys not married to them? They'd be up for a hunt, surely! (I hope I can get away with saying "middle-aged)

I'm trying to get my other half into hunting. He's a sick bastard - born with legs like a deer, I show him a planned tramping route and he says "Why are me taking all this stuff? We could just run there and back." grrr Marathon runners, gotta love/hate them!

I wouldn't. She might get all scratched up and dinged. I like them pretty and glossy, with a natural finish. No plastic or synthetics though.
