The Greatest Enemy of Women Whitetail Deer Hunters?

What or who is the greatest enemy of women whitetail deer hunters?

TIME!

Our lives are so busy and hectic that finding the time to hunt deer can be a real challenge.

I think that women hunters find it more difficult than our men counterparts.

Women, by nature, are the caretakers of the family. We take care of the children, our partners, the family pets, shop for groceries, cook, do laundry, clean, balance the checkbook and in many cases, work a part-time or full-time job.

Now guys, before you get mad at me, I know that you work hard too and that you have your own chores that need to be done to insure that the family functions like a well-oiled machine. You shovel snow, cut the lawn, perform maintenance on the house, take out the garbage and work a part-time or full-time job.

But, someone has to keep the home fires burning during hunting season and it is usually the woman who stays home to take care of the kids while Dad goes deer hunting.

It is easy for me, I have no children, no pets, and nothing except my job to compete for my time. I take at least three days off during firearm whitetail deer season. Combine that with the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and normal weekends and I usually get to hunt between 8 to 10 days of the 15 day firearm season.

I consider myself one lucky woman.

So, my question is, who takes care of everything while you go hunting? Let us know.

See you next week "Around The Campfire".
