I think women recruitment is a little tougher especially those who comes from families that don't hunt or don't know anyone who does. Even for men, it's some what bold to trust a stranger and follow them deep into the woods while they're armed. I had bumped into a woman a couple of years ago that was interested in hunting. I extended my invitation to her as I've done with others only that she was the first female. Eventually she asked if my wife hunts and when I told her she doesn't, I never heard back from her again. It was clear she was only comfortable with venturing out with other females. Understandably so.
