EDITORIAL
Look at that hair!
I
pulled another photo from the archives. Wow, check out the plug for Ritz
Crackers! This particular photograph takes me back to 1972 and shows
me as a baby with my mom camping. It seems that no matter what we did
growing up, my mom was always there with us. As I refl ect on the theme of
this issue, Women in Hunting, I couldn’t help but think back on my childhood
and the infl uence my mom had on me. Wherever my dad took us in the
outdoors, my mom was always a trooper and packed all of us kids up to make
it a complete family adventure. Even though my mom never actually came
with us on our hunting trips later on, she supported us in whatever we did and
tolerated the dead deer hanging in the garage. It is this infl uence that I think
makes Women in Hunting a very important topic. Something about being
in the outdoors builds unity, support, respect, and confi dence that everyone,
young and old, needs to experience. As our time becomes more important to
us and the demand of jobs and family increase, having your wife or girlfriend
to share in the time and experience seems to be a big key in why women
seem to be taking to the fi eld more than ever. I hope you enjoy this issue and
realize the impact that women are having in the hunting and outdoor industry.
Their stories are inspiring and prove that they belong and can hold their own
when it comes to baggin’ trophy animals. I hope that this introduces even
more women to hunting.
We had a great run of shows the past few months and the excitement
of our crazy $10 subscription is going strong. Those of you who are buying
Hunting Illustrated off the newsstand have no excuse now - pony up a few
bucks and subscribe. You can spend $10 bucks on about three gallons of gas
or you can get a full year of reading, seeing the photos, and learning about
hunting monster mule deer, trophy bull elk and much, much more.
The results are in and we have the winners. The King’s ShadowCamo
Photo Contest results are featured in this issue. Thanks to the many great
photos that were submitted in. Keep them coming.
Anyone have some Ritz Crackers?....I’m getting hungry.
