Babes In The Woods: Field & Stream, A Treasure Trove

Do you see the silhouette in the nearby distance? It is not that of a man; it's a female hunter taking all the precautions not to scare away a deer. These days, more and more women head out to the woods to find out what has attracted males for centuries. The adrenaline, the drive, and the excitement about the first successful hunt are some of the reasons females want to partake what has come to be known as male territory for a long time now. There is no other magazine to offer and facilitate this freedom to women than Field & Stream. I have been reading this magazine ever since I can remember. It truly gives the urban dweller a sense of the abundant life and beauty of mother nature.

Promise of adventure, tips about fantastic destinations and more

Adventure is now packaged as it becomes big business

Thanks to the mainstreaming of adventure, more and more women and minority groups are getting to be interested in traveling to the most remote places. A few months ago, a friend of mine and I were trekking in the back country of Sequoia National Park. To our surprise, we ran into a group of 4 women whom we knew from the city. They were hiking a few miles away from their camp sites. Thanks to magazines such as Field & Stream, adventure in hunting, bowing, fishing, game fishing, game cooking, and outdoor life, in general, can be manipulated, and guaranteed, and marketed to groups who were until now kept away.

Field & Stream does a good job with its seasonal features. Its writers and editors, enthusiastic outdoors people, serve their readers with interesting articles containing various tips. For example, you can find the top 50 bass waters or top 50 places to fish for bass, 25 great American deer hunts, 20 roads to nowhere. Basically, you can find anything you want to improve your hunting and outdoor cooking.

If you go to the Field & Stream website, you will be able to listen to 7-minute broadcast of interesting articles covering various issues. You can do this while reading and surfing the net. This is made possible through Real Audio.

In all, what's certain is that this movement to find adventure destinations will go on. What's more interesting is that a brand new market is being created by women and minorities telling the rest of world that they want their share of fun in the great outdoor.
