Lady friend looking to learn to bow hunt

[plinkerton]

She is mid twenties, responsible, and bright.

Wants to hunt deer, no interest in firearms.

Lives in Essex area.

Taking Hunter Safety now.

Would like to find a club where she would get help learning to hunt.

Any suggestions?

I would have thought by now a bunch of MDS'er would have been tripping over each other to offer help. All I can say towards a lack of response is it is probably do to her age and lack of interest in firearms.

Might try the same question over on MarylandWhitetail.com. A few of us are over there too and it is mostly about hunting/bowhunting.

There is a MD dnr bow hunting class. She might want to consider taking that also. Its more geared toward bow hunting.

DNR also runs programs for women. Here is the web page for it http://dnr2.maryland.gov/wildlife/Pages/Education/bow.aspx

Good idea. I'd offer but, wifey doesn't let me play with girls.

Here's another one to maybe have a look at. They're not totally hunting oriented and we have met a couple of the members through my wife's club:

Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) is a non-profit, educational program offering hands-on workshops to adult women. We encourage a supportive environment conducive to learning, making friends, and having fun. No experience is necessary and BOW is for women of all ages and fitness levels.

Baltimore Bowmen is a club that promotes bow hunting and may be able to provide some insight. They are located on Harford Road across from the gunpowder military reservation.

They are also sponsoring a traditional (longbow and recurve) 3D shoot this month, 15th - 17th. Lots of fun, 80 targets on 3 courses, vendors, food.

Here's a link for those interested: http://www.baltimorebowmen.com/trad.htm
