Abstract:
Compared to the number of men who hunt and fish, few women participate in these activities. A major reason given by women for nonparticipation is their lack of early experience with the outdoors. By the time they get the urge as adults, the men in their lives who hunt and fish are far ahead of them in skills.

The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission sponsors the program in the state. Martin relates her experiences as a program participant.
