I’m a female deer hunter – I always wear mascara and heated socks, people say I’m ‘living the dream’
A FEMALE deer hunter has revealed her surprising tips for a good day’s pursuit.
She preps these strategies before even leaving the house.
First up is paying attention to her beauty regime.
The other is keeping her toes warm.
Hunting devotee WestonStore (@westonstore) knows how to make a good day even better with a few comforts.
In her post, “Day in the life of a female hunter,” she unveils her tricks of the trade.
She has sat many hours stock still in cold weather waiting for prey to emerge.
It can be bone-chilling.
Also, if she is filming, she wants to look good too.
At the unearthly hour of 4am, she was up, bleary-eyed and prepared for the day, but out came the cosmetics.
“I do my everyday makeup of eyebrows and mascara because you know, filming,” she admitted.
Next up, she advised doing away with multi-layers to keep the cold out.
“Instead of putting on a load of bulky layers, I’ve got this vest which is heated,” she said, grabbing the batteries, which she had charged overnight.
Still dark outside, she headed off.
Hunting with bow and arrows, she put all her gear in the car and headed “to my tree in the dark.”
Positioning herself halfway up in a saddle for hours on end, she stays comfortable wearing a heated vest and cozy socks.
“Now that I’m up here I can turn on my heated socks. These are honestly such a lifesaver at this time of year and have kept my toes toasty all season.
“I turn on my heated vest and now I wait for a comfortable sit waiting for the deer to come,” she said. “Wish me some luck.”
Comments to her post envied her time in the woods.
“Living my dream,” was the wistful response of one fan.
Another related to her post: “Shivering while aiming a bow, yeah done that,” he said.
The final comment wished her well and to stay cozy: “Wish you awesome luck. The key to success is being comfy,” he said.
