Alabama’s Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) program has introduced new generations of women to the outdoors.
It is frequently said that the only constant is change. That is so true of outdoor activities, who is participating and how they learned their skills.
It wasn’t that many decades ago that the reason Alabamians hunted and fished was for sustenance. Grandfathers hunted and fished, and they passed those skills down to their sons and grandsons. The ladies stayed home and prepared the bounty. As the number of hunters and fishermen across Alabama and the U.S. began to dwindle through the years, it became evident that the times have indeed changed. Grandfathers and fathers that don’t hunt and fish and single-parent homes created a major problem for game and fish agencies. There was no one passing on those traditions. Those agencies survive by the number of hunting and fishing licenses sold.
