I would really enjoy finding more women in my area, Sioux Falls, SD to hunt and fish with.
I have always had to rely on the men in my life to know where to go but I would enjoy to be able to have other women to do some of these things with. I have had experience hunting deer and mountain lion with rifle and crossbow, I enjoy boat fishing and shoreline fishing but have never tried fly fishing. I am 50 years young and physically healthy and active. If there is a group or any others that would just enjoy company in doing some of these things, please let me know.
