A 12-year-old going out squirrel hunting with her father. A mother with two young sons and a long winter in front of her, getting her deer for the meals it will provide.
These are just a couple of the North Country women who have carried on the tradition of hunting. For those who grew up hunting, the goal was to bring something home for the supper table. The 12-year-old who grew up hunting for the dinner table is a grandmother now and hasn’t hunted since she was pregnant with her first child, but she remembers fondly the tenderness of the deer meat her mother used to can.
