Took a woman out years ago, got talking to her on a walk and she had this big collie/grey/saluki-ish thing aged around 4 at the time, said he was forever chasing blue hares up the munros blah blah bla

as long as they get the hoovering done first

I dont want to talk football,boxing,hunting,cars etc etc with my mrs i want to talk about them with my pals......I dont want to talk about the new layout of the kitchen or some deep meaningful topic w

It means absolutely nothing, I have had some good nights out with a pal who just happens to be female, she is friends with my wife too......any woman who would stop there partner from going out with another women has got some self confidence issues and needs to have a good hard look at herself never mind her other half !!

:clapper:

Edited to add i find it extremely insulting that another woman or man would think i would do anything other than hunting anyway ;)

 

Gnasher what do you think is wrong with a woman hunting please, do you think it makes a woman seem masculine?

Nothing if thats what a woman wants to do.......but i know if id just bought a bird a drink and during the getting to know you stage she told me she likes to go out hunting.......she wouldnt be getting a second drink !.......

Same as if she told me she likes carpentry or arm wrestling.....nothing wrong with it but certainly not my sort of treacle.......no offence like.

None taken Gnash. If a man was so insecure he could not see beyond his misconceptions i would have probably left whilst he was at the bar anyway :D Especially if he called me a bird :laugh:

:blink: Whats insecurity got to do with it......i just dont relish the thought of talking to a pretty woman about skinning rabbits............and if a bird started whingeing about being called a bird well.................theres probably women out there who would have raised eyebrows about a bloke who enjoyed knitting.....might be a helluva guy,but wouldnt be a choice for some women.......no difference.

Interesting one this. . . . i've never really met a woman who was into hunting off her own back, i.e it was 'her' thing. But i've had experiance of a number of different woman, who have ended up as hunters or at least tagging a long, due to the men they have choosen to spend their time / life with.

 

My mum is the first example, neither of her parents hunted, and she had never done anything like it, but her grandfather was ferret / dog mad. When she started dating my father, he ended up meeting her grandfather, and a great friendship was started between the two men - old and young. My mum had to get used to her boyfriend disapearing with her grandfather and leaving her at home. Eventually her grandfather passed away, and my dad was left as a solo hunter once again, at this point really intio his ferrets and starting to get big into spaniels. Anyway, long story short, my mum decided that if she wanted to spend more time with her other half, it would have to be in the field, and so from then on, she was my dads right hand man, out with him all the time, ferreting, shooting, poaching, beating and helping look aftr the stock. She was out in the field with him and the dogs right up until a month before i was born, and back out as soon as i was able, with me strapped to her back, in a sling.

 

Fast forward quite a few years, and i met my girlfriend, who had never hunted anything in her life, never seen a ferret close, didnt know what a lurcher was, and thought killing stuff was obviously a bit wierd. Within a couple of months of meeting me she was out doing it all, out ferreting, firing the shot gun, lamping, laying snares etc. She loves the dogs and ferrets and thats a big part of it, i dont think she would ever have got into shooting in the same way. But she is a quick learner, never complains and is quiet as a mouse, a couple of folk on here have been out with me when she has been there, and it's a funny sight, my cute, hippy looking girlfriend, with hair braids, and dreads, and bangles and beads, in a pair of wellies, in the pissing rain, covered in mud and blood, dragging a pile of dead rabbits :laugh: She's even strted asking about getting a pup.

 

I think we should be encouraging them!

So you do see women who hunt as masculine then, presuming this as you listed it with other masculine activities.

Usually men who cannot understand how a woman can possibly do something masculine are normally men who are insecure in themselves....Men who see nothing out of the ordinary or simply think of it as quirky are usually very comfortable in themselves.

Why on earth do you think a woman would want to talk about killing or skinning things on a date :laugh: Another misconception that we must be blood thirsty, ignorants with no etiquette or manners :rolleyes:

Bird, biatch, tart, chick.....you really cant see it can you :D

I cannot put into words very easily why i hunt. I know why i started...because of the dogs. And that eventually led me into a totally different lifestyle to anything i had ever known prior, and i am the most content and happy i have ever been. I work damn hard at what i do (hunting and trapping) And yes i am thought of as peculiar by some people, the better people think it is brilliant.

Never has been anything to do with men, for men or to impress men. Just like you men never started because of women. But because it is a male dominated activity most of my very good friends are now men. My best female friend thinks i am cruel, we just agree not to talk about it :D

In reality i am no different to any man who hunts, i do it the same way and for the same reasons. The only thing different is i cannot carry as many rabbits as you lot can at once :cray:
