Victoria Hannah has hunted all her life, so she’s well aware that when it comes to waterfowling, women are in the minority. Now she’s sharing her enthusiasm with others in the hopes of not only keeping the sport alive, but altering its current demographics — making room for more women in the field.

Victoria’s passion for hunting is evident. In the past, she’s pursued anything from deer and doves to black bears and pintails. In her own words, “If you can hunt it, I want to come with you.” But while she’s hunted all her life, Victoria admits there were times she felt intimidated, aware of the fact she was the only woman hunter in her group of friends. Now she’s working to make the sport more inclusive and approachable — particularly for other women.

In this episode of The Slayer Hunting Podcast, Victoria shares stories from the field as well as her tips and goals for helping others overcome their hunting insecurities.
