getting her to hunt
It seems every year I find myself with a new girlfriend and I am trying to get her to hunt. She has a hard time understanding what the thrill is about but I am trying to get her to see the positives. I would like to hear some ways you guys/girls have gotten your significant others to spend some quality time together. She is a thrill seeker much like myself and is willing to try new experiences but she is reluctant regarding hunting. Any information would be greatly appreciated! One suggestion that I have made is for her to film my hunts what do you think?

Take her out sometime but don't bring a weapon. Set up treestands and just sit together and take pictures of any deer or animals you see. After doing that a couple times see if she wants to take the next step.

i would suggest doing what im doing with my wife. first off just get her shooting a bow let her see how much of a blast that is then gradually work her into hunting like take her out on a hunt with you so she can see how everything work is motion the set her up on her own and always tell her you can do it women like the vote of confidence

If it is your passion and you want that shared , in the future I would put that on the list for what you are looking for in a GF. If all goes well with this one find out why she is reluctant. It's easier to meet an objection if you know what it is.
Get her out camping and shooting. Watch to see what gets her jazzed and then you know where to start. In the long run you want it to be something she wants to do and share with you. If she's just going along with it as part of the audition for being your GF it won't be any fun for you in the long run.
