Women Who Love to Hunt
Please Help Promote These Three Women 

Women have always been a part of the hunting world, but recently there has been a big change in the industry. The whole family is now starting to enjoy what has, up to this point, been seen as a man's sport. But not without the struggles of the first women to encourage others to break out of the norm and go hunting for themselves. For some, it is no big deal and just a way of life, but for some other women it may seem an unreal adventure out of reach. There are role models all around to give you the confidence and support that you're looking for. So women and men, go out there and show your support!  Thank you.

There is a wonderful article in the Billings Magic City Magazine (page 56--60) about Big Hearts and the trip that Megan Harmon went on this summer at UCO.  There is also a video at the bottom of the page.  It is incredible to see how Big Hearts has helped these people in a way that we never could have imagined.
