In Greek mythology there once was a fairy, Diane. From the ancient Greek mythological stories was known to be one of the wildest hunters. She was the one who hunted for the Gods themselves. She captured a silver owl for Athena. Womens hunting apparel is growing in popularity with more shops stocking hunting clothes than ever before.

Diane knew ever nook of every river and watched every leaf that grew. She watched over nature and over time became known as Mother Nature. However according to Greek mythology, men found themselves calling to her for aid and guidance when they wished for a healthy game to feed their families or whenever they lost their way. It was Diane that was the straightest shooter, the fastest runner.

Lethal with the bow and arrow she never missed her target. She was the one who knew every tree and brush and rock in the ancient forests. It wasn’t long before Diane was replaced in history by the amazons.

These were the tall women who gathered together in the forests. They had no choice but to become fierce hunters or die. They consisted of nearly all females. The tribe members forbid men inside their camps. After time they found that they could survive without the help of man and discovered new ways of trapping and killing animals.

Women have found peace with nature and taking their rightful place as gathers and hunters beside the men. When women wanted to hunt, they ran-sacked their husbands camouflage pants and jackets so they too could blend in with nature. They found that their husbands outfits were uncomfortable. Either too baggy causing too much noise while stalking elk or deer. Or way over sized making it difficult to shoot. Or too small due to the fact that they would have to wear boys clothing in order to hunt without being detected. Not any more.

Welcome back the Greek nymph Diane. 5.7 million women may not hunt live game but have found the joy of shooting at discs or skeet’s and targets. In 2007 $32 billion was generated from sport hunting and has increased 76% since then. With about 15% that accounted for shooting, hunting and fire arms market.

Or there is She-hunt.com. That has several items that are all made for the female outdoors men. But their apparel looks a lot like that of which women would find in the children section of a sporting goods clothing store. It is bulky and out of place. Although their prices are more reasonable than some of the other sights, it leaves out personal style and function for the female. They don’t seem to have much of a selection for the hefty woman hunter but focus more on the petite smaller sized woman.

They have everything from hunting in the parries of the middle America to the deep forest of the southern states or mountain range. They even offer winter gear for those willing to go hunting out in snow or for frosted climates like Canada or Alaska. Foxy huntress has also been endorsed by ESPN’s Cindy Garrison, the sportsmen channel and Texas woman’s shooting sports organization. This is the site for all sized women who want to play like the big boys.
