Summary

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.
