Women Hunters
Apparently the women in Iowa are packing heat, but are doing it for sporting purposes. According to Iowa's Quad City Online says, "Iowa is following a national trend as female hunters are taking to the field in increasing numbers, while the numbers of their male counterparts have decreased." The news article goes on to say, "A recent survey conducted by the National Sporting Goods Association for the National Shooting Sports Foundation reported a 72 percent increase nationally from 2001 to 2005 in women hunting with firearms."

It does not surprise me that women are picking up hunting as a competive sport and hobby. It is great to see women breaking through stereotypes and offering a new perspective to a generations old sport.
I wonder if this might create a new fashion trend. Pink and white camo for the hunter that really wants to make a statement! :)
