As women in hunting and women in the outdoors, we often have unique needs for clothes and gear to be both comfortable and practical. Unfortunately, some women’s hunting clothes and equipment are designed for, well…. It’s hard to say what it is intended for, but pink is not a great color for hunting clothes. So, in this post, I’ll share my setup for women’s hunting clothes, gear, and thoughts on women’s hunting boots, hats, and gloves. And, I’ll share a short reflection on how I prepare my mind and prime my awareness the morning of the hunt.

I hope you enjoy and find this post practical and NOT pink. Please consider sharing this post and leaving your tips in the comments below to help support more women and girls to get into hunting and the outdoors.
1. Bag Limit: A regulated amount of any specific species that a hunter can take in a single day of hunting. Mostly used when discussing small game and migratory game birds.
2. Bedding Area: a recurring or popular place for one or more animals to rest.
3. Blind: A hiding position for a hunter (ex: Ground Blind, Brush Blind, etc.) These may be store-bought, built from natural material, or occur naturally on the landscape.
4. Brushing In: The art of blending a blind into the landscape to make it invisible to the intended prey.
5. Furbearer: A mammal whose fur is often considered valuable and may require special licences to keep, process or sell. Trappers focus on Furbearer species. Some of them do not have a hunting season, only a trapping season.
6. Glassing: Using binoculars, spotting scopes, or other optics to find game animals or potential game animal habitat.
7. Game: The definition of animals that are legal to be hunted. Often referred to as game animals.
