There are many hunting adventure books in print, but few that exclusively deal with women hunters. Etling and Reneau researched their subject well, and many of the women profiled are among the top hunters in the world. The authors discovered hundreds of bright, articulate women who love to hunt big game, and they culled the best stories from these women for this book. Here is what you will read: One woman was hunting trophy mule deer solo in Utah when a rattlesnake attacked and got its fangs caught in her hunting pants. Another, her PH, and tracker were surrounded by African lions, inches away and ready to charge. Then there is a hilarious story about a woman, forbidden to hunt by her husband, who sneaks away after moose and caribou. She returned a week later laden with hundreds of pounds of venison, as well as a huge caribou rack. Then there is the largest Alaska brown bear ever taken by a woman, the first woman to harvest the fabled NA 29 Slam (all varieties of North American big game), who, incidentally, completed this feat after having suffered a debilitating stroke. Then there was a woman from Alberta who not only taught herself to hunt, but became one of Canada's most accomplished elk hunters . . . man OR woman. There is also the tale of a preschool teacher and single mom who bagged the largest whitetail ever taken by a woman, yet still found the time to teach her wheelchair-bound son to hunt. Read tales of sheep taken at 17,000 feet, as well as grueling Arctic adventures replete with polar bears, dogsleds, and whiteouts. Learn about one of the world's most accomplished sheep hunters, a woman who has taken twenty varieties of wild sheep. Whether they're fording a frigid stream with the current lapping at their chins or sleeping in a camp with no blanket, gear, or food in freezing temperatures, these women are more than up to whatever awaits them during their hunts. These are some of the most intriguing and unusual adventures you have yet to read!
