This program allows women to ask questions that they might otherwise feel inadequate asking a man. Founded in 1991,by Christine Thomas, this Wisconsin based program is largely funded by state wildlife agencies and has some 15,000 female members. It is a fact that hunters kill approximately four million deer each year and thousands more are killed on the road. Still hundreds of thousands die of starvation every year. Left unchecked, the deer heard would overpopulate, causing extensive crop damage, mass starvation, and an increase in car-deer accidents.
Some men argue that women hunters are destroying their male bonding time.
They feel that since traditionally men were the hunters and gatherers and women stayed in the home, that things should not change. However some men, like my dad, feel that women should be welcomed into the sport.
