I have one daughter who loves to fish and one who will try to steal our worms so she can save them. Children are lovely.

As a hunter, camper, fisherman, etc. I was pretty sad when my son wasn't really into any of that. He told me "I'm not really outdoorsy, Dad." But the kid has been coding at a college level since he was in middle school.

As a female who was never invited to any hunting or camping trips growing up let me to say thank you to these two dads for taking their daughters. When their daughters grow up they'll definitely thank them too. Those are precious memories.

You could raise twins the exact same way without any outside cultural influence and they can be completely different people. It's called personality.

Norwegian saying. “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes”

Ok, straight to the business. Who’s that girl on the thumbnail?

Said the exact same thing about female hunters to my husband the other day... I guess I'm skeptical, but if there's a female hunter on a show (supposedly tent camping out in the mountains) with perfect hair, makeup, nails and jewelry I cannot take her seriously

why dont parents realize that every kid is going to be different and they wont always enjoy the same things they do or their siblings do?

Men and women are different. End of mystery.

“Thats weird, I don’t do any of those exercises” 😂😂

“My five year old just isn’t into hunting” Your child is freakin’ five. I wore purses on my head when I was five.

Daughter of a tomboy here, I hated that stuff so, so much. We fought, I'd cry. My father is very outdoorsy, hunts, fishes, builds things by hand but didn't push me into it. I just came out different than both my parents. My mom was very disappointed that I wasn't competitive or sporty. She really wanted to sit on the side lines, proud as hell, cheering while I kicked butt. It was hard because I didn't like to be outside if it was hot, if there were bugs, and getting sweaty, gross. I liked pretty things, ice skating, ballet, beautiful dresses, staying clean lol. Fishing? Give me a break, how anyone can stay awake through that is beyond me. I always thought my mom would have been much happier with a boy. You have to let your kids be themselves, their interests don't have to match your own. She wanted me to be some corporate shark and told me explicitly never get married, never have kids because it would ruin my life. Again, difficult because I dreamed of being married and having lots of cute babies, which is what I did. She barely speaks to me now. Has told me I've never made her proud. But if I had pretended for her benefit I would have been miserable inside. So I lived my life. I do get my hands dirty these days, in the garden ( both roses and vegetables), and I raise birds for fresh eggs, and even raise and kill my own thanksgiving turkey every year. But that's as far as I've gotten. I want my kids to understand where food comes from and appreciate it. Doubt I'll ever go hunting...but you never know.

Its cultural in a sense that a girl from Cambodia would be down to go fishing because she wants to eat dinner.

My son was a natural hunter. My daughter hates hunting, but she loves butchering. I'll never forget this one particular incident when they were teenagers. He busted into the house and excitedly grabbed his sister. "I got you a present!" I followed them out and there was a freshly dead deer on my front porch. My daughter started crying. "You did this for ME?!" "It's for your birthday!" They hugged and she ran in to get her knife set. I've noticed this trend in my entire family. The women have no problem breaking down animals, but killing is harder for all of us. The guys love every step of the process. My mom was an avid hunter because we needed the meat and she didn't trust anyone else to kill the animal right.

My cousin is married to a woman who loves to hunt, but she doesn't believe people see her as a real woman and it upsets her. It's just who she is. And she doesn't do sex poses with their kills. She looks like a muddy hunter. I love her. ❤

Most amazing deer hunting bowshot I ever saw was actually recorded as part of a public television program in Georgia many years ago. A woman was in a tree, sighting in on one of two deer that were about four feet apart. She fired; the arrow went into the first deer but just caught the edge of its shoulder blade so it deflected through the heart, exited the first deer level to the ground, and then pierced the heart of the second deer four feet away. They both fell dead within a half-second of each other. It was the world's most perfect shot.

Joe "i want to try and be respectful" Rogan

Of the 10% of license holders who are women, 90% of their licenses were bought by their husbands/boyfriends (after the woman took a weekend Hunter safety training course) so he would have an extra tag.

I'm a female hunter. I've been hunting to provide meat for my family for 20 years. I gut and process my own deer. I even built my deer stand about 10 years ago. It'll be there when my granddaughter is ready to hunt.

how does he not get it? when i was a kid my dad took me biking all the time. but by the age of like 15 i wasnt bothered because i wasnt into it... You cant just force your hobbies on your own kids.

Say he put in the same input to both children but has different responses. Goes on to talk about how he treats the daughter differently than the boy.

I was not aware this was a real phenomena, but it makes sense. The only female hunters I've ever met are legit, the former assistant principal where I work, she was wore dresses and skirts and fake lashes to work, but also did crossfit, hunted with no makeup, and probably dead lifted the deer before doing some box jumps.

My daughter and niece love hunting. I've been taking them big game hunting since they were 12. Both are out of college now and still hunt. The decision to shoot or not has always been 100% up to them. I think that has helped them to own the process.

Who's here because of the thumbnail?

Replying to Joe Rogan, I'm sure in the U.S. there are more male hunters than female but I'm sure there are females who love hunting as well. Also, the female hunters that he sees doing exercises on instagram, to that I would say that since they are the "pretty kind", those are going to be the most popular. The female hunters who dont go with the "sex sells" motto are obviously not going to be much in the public eye. That's my theory.

Some people aren’t into hunting and never will be. Nothing wrong with that it’s not for everyone.

"I feel like I give them the same inputs" "When my daughter cries I feel bad but I'm a total psychopath with my son (who likely seeks warmth and approval)" "I think this is strictly biological" Not making a great case for yourself there bucko

This was interesting. I’m not sure who the gentleman Joe is talking to here is but I think he illustrates an important point. People like to say they treat their children (Boys and girls) the same way. But they don’t. He said he’d sush his boy if he complained about being cold but not his daughter. A girl’s whining is allowed while a boys isn’t. My father was a carpenter and I spent a great deal of my childhood in the garage building things with him and doing Reno’s around the house, more so then my older brother did. I still love doing those things today and did a lot of the work around my house myself. And while I’ve never gone hunting I would be involved in slaughtering animals at my uncle’s farm and they processed the meat by hand and while I don’t like killing things, I will to eat. I do like the marksmanship behind shooting though; BB guns, handguns, rifles, archery. My parents didn’t allow me to whine about stupid things. They really clamped down on it and I think it made all the difference.

Widowed Dad here of two girls 9&11 and they pester me to go hunting and fishing.

My husband is trying so hard to get our daughter to enjoy the outdoors (because he believes it will be good for her growth and mental health)- he’s bought her every bike under the sun, takes her fishing, canoeing, swimming but at the end of the day she prefers to sit and play with her dolls...kids will like what they like.

It’s 50% nature and 50% nurture. Everyone is predisposed towards certain behaviors and outside stimulus effects people as well.

My mom would call hunting, “Hiking with guns.” When we didn’t come back with a kill. But she never wanted to go “hiking” with us.

Women usually hunt Trouser Snake..and some even prefer hunting Beaver

When i got my hunting license in the 90'ties there was one girl in our class. Nobody cared that she was female

the older i get the more i lean on the side of “nature” in the “nature vs nurture” debate about raising children.

I think it depends on where you are from. A lot of the girls I went to High School with and my daughter all like hunting and fishing. I did grow up in a small town in Texas.

I knew a super hot girl that was huge into fishing! Like REALLY into it..........posted shit about "female anglers" all over social media. .....she was about 32.......blonde.....hot body........but word had it she was crazy. Anyways, word had it with her friends that she was only doing it to find a guy because her reputation was that she was a lil mentally unstable. Well guess what.......she found a guy after three years of fishing and gave up fishing hahahahaha

My favourite comments are .... Joe “insert something Joe does” Rogan

I loved hunting when I was younger. One of the best memories of my life was hunting in a deer blind with my mom. Just the very best day. Two women sitting in a blind, laughing our asses off and still seeing deer. I am not sure it's cultural or not, but this is a very interesting topic.

"I feel like I'm doing the same inputs." "If my boy was crying like my daughter was, I would've acted differently."

I wonder what his daughter’s reaction would be if instead, his wife came along to hunt or if she were the prime motivator for hunting.

My dad has been hunting since he was a kid; my entire life, he's hunted and even guided hints professionally. My older sister loves to shoot bows competitively but doesn't have any interest in hunting. I'd hunt every week if I were able to; it's my absolute favorite thing to do. Being out in the mountains is the most peaceful place to be.

It's OBVIOUSLY biological. My dad is the most hardcore, successful hunter I've ever known or even heard of. I'm his only child and obviously he hoped I'd enjoy hunting... but I never did. I love shooting, but I'm not interested in killing a creature that hasn't done anything to me. I don't mind hunting, in general. I think it's great for other people, just not for me. If a hunting season on leftists ever becomes a thing, I'll be all about it, but killing animals isn't my thing (unless they're attacking me... I've killed a few roosters on my farm because they attacked me and my kids lol). It's not anecdotal when it's incredibly common. An anecdote becomes a statistically significant fact when it's super common.

That's like getting mad at your kids for not liking sports. "What do you mean you dont like basketball and like computers instead?"

I'm just here for the Joe "something, something" Rogan comments.

My two step brothers where never interested in hunting, yet my youngest step sister has always been very interested in it.

My dad has 5 boys 1 girl Only my sister wants to go hunting Beautiful, really smart and a really nice person.

When I turned 16, I was at the DMV to get my drivers license. Could not wait! Freedom, cruisin' for girls, not having to take the buss to school, not having my mom drive me to the mall...but my sons just don't give two shits about driving. The same enthusiasm I had, my sons just don't have. And I see it more and more. And daughters are even more opposite their mothers. The "dream" for me and my wife was to get a good job, buy a house, raise a family, two cars in the driveway, two weeks of vacation to see the worlds largest ball of twine in Duluth Minnesota and Disney World. My kids could care less about that stuff. Weird.

Joe "I smell a rat" Rogan.

Let’s be real, the outdoor industry is doing the same thing that every other industry is...they’re sexualizing it. How many fishing videos can you see with a woman in a string bikini like that’s what you normally fish in.

I just watched this episode. I have two daughters. My oldest wasn't very interested in hunting when she was younger. Her sister wanted to hunt from day one. Finally the oldest asked to go. I made it a point to never push her and now she enjoys it. The youngest is still very passionate about it. They love hunting together.

the thumbnail is the kind of Rack I`m hunting for.

Wow. I literally can't find one guy I can stand hunting with, I've had guys say they love hunting, I take em hunting with me and everytime they bitch, take a nap, wanna go home, and just ruin my hunting experience. I get up at 3 in the morning, hike up the mountain for 2 to 3 miles. If I get something I pack it out on my own, no horses, no whining man either, I leave my bf home. I take it home butcher it myself. I was raised on hunting. Now I'm a manager for fish and game. Cultural no, do I wanna be a man haha no. I have a passion for outdoors that's it. But guys give me a lot of positive feedback, for being a woman and hunting how I do, it's a lot of work.

I was with my mom the first time she shot a deer. It was amazing and heartbreaking too. Since then she has become one of the most succesful hunters in our gang of 30 men and her. She is a practical, sustenance hunter, certainly not an instagrammer. I have great respect for her.

My older brother was never interested when my dad would work on cars but I would jump for joy at the chance of joining him.

Both my parents were avid hunters and fishers. I HATED it when I was younger. Mostly because of what this guys daughter said of not wanting to wake up early and imo it was BORING beyond all belief. But when I reached 24 I had an interest in it and it was appealing to me. More so the fishing part now and I only like to hunt boar, Elk/Caribou, and Wolverines. This guy sounds to me like it's a lot of "I want". Take yourself out of the equation and stop trying to force it. If their not into it now maybe they'll come around later in life like I did.

Joe"thumbnail clickbait" Rogan

It's almost like everyones different 🤷🏻‍♂️

my daughter (26) spent over 200 dollars on hunting permits(tags) this year. she has liked hunting since I first took her out on a hunt. but we only had to get up early and walk across the road and into the forest to go. she is also into the 'vulture culture' so collects and paints skulls . I do have to admit that she is an only child and I was a single dad, so 'tomboy' is an understated description.

Steve Rinella's meat eater show is my favorite on Netflix right now. A girl who wants to go fishing and hunting is by far the sexiest thing to me.

My now ex wife was an avid hunter. My daughters and granddaughter love fishing.

Steve's daughter story is so wholesome. Love to love hearing Steve tell tales. He seems like a very humble person

I have four daughters, ALL of them refuse to hunt, kinda enjoy the outdoors, but LOVE to shoot! I imagine due to my career in law enforcement, and my passion for keeping my family safe, I was very hands on with gun safety and handling from an extremely young age, generally about 5 or 6 years old is when I would really start practically introducing them to firearms. At first, it was to understand what it was and showed them what it could do and explain and educate the function and operation of all the firearms I had. As they grew older I would let them have pellet and BB guns to shoot out in our forested area and by at about 8yo at the youngest 10yo at the oldest, I'd let them experience a .22 rifle. So I had a house at one time with 5 females (one being my wife) between the ages of 12 and 40, that could proficiently & safely handle a firearm, and provide for their own self-defense if god forbid the need ever arose. My oldest got married recently and she refused to attend her own ceremony if she couldn't carry her concealed firearm at the venue, her soon to be husband even got her a custom little thigh (garter) holster for the occasion. I don't know if she was serious or being her little sarcastic, dry humor self about it but I couldn't help but laugh with a small tear in my eye, lol! I only ever wanted them to know how to safely operate and render a firearm safe and clear IF they ever had too, THEY each themselves asked to shoot once and they each loved doing it ever since and I never pressured them one way or the other save for knowing how to shoot in case they ever had to. As a side note, I constantly got grief and dirty looks from all kinds of people, even 2A supporters and gun nuts and of course people that just don't like guns; but most of the grief I got was the fact that they were girls. One person even told me it was my job to protect my family and they shouldn't have to, to that I said I am only one person and not invincible or immortal all it takes is one shot and then i'm down or dead and my family is toast, at least if my kids know what to do even if I die there's a much greater chance my family could be safe. My girls may have tried to enjoy them because they were of course all daddies girls and maybe thought it would make daddy happy if they enjoyed something he enjoyed, idk, but they have regular trips both together and alone just to go shoot and sometimes they don't even let me know so I know they have to at least enjoy it somewhat.

They have the same thing in the motocross scene. Most girls just pose on a bike for Instagram but could care less about riding if it was just them and machine.

So some people don't like hunting and some do is what I'm hearing

I've been around a number of kids and I know that personal motivations can shift what a child would value rather quickly. I was never an outdoors kind of kid when I was younger but was still able to manage a decent 2 years. Those two years were a time where a step outside my original hobbies was necessary. For boys, the ability to maintain focus and motivation would most likely prefer hunting and fishing due to the types of skills that train. Whereas, a girl would rather work on arts and crafts as it teaches and trains a number of skills that would be valued outside of a particular hobby. The topic of culture does play a part. The difference between the two is what is valued at that point in time to the individual and what would be considered an effective solution rather than a past-time.

My youngest girl keeps saying Daad when are we going hunting Can we go now.

The "just take the kid" idea is correct. My two older brothers and my Dad were all into golf, and I didn't care. But I also didn't fight going out and truly tried to "get the right mindset" for it working. For most of my childhood that was part of my life, and while at best only average, mostly I was unpredictable. But it got to where I did some on my own and was socially useful a couple of time. I have not golfed for years, wont pick it back up - and never would have started on my own. So take your kid hunting, fishing, golfing - whatever it is you do, Dad. The kid will thank you later for, among other things - taking all that time for years. That meant a lot to me then, and still does decades later.

Kids aren't computers. Applying the same "inputs" will not always get the same results. My son's interests and needs are not the same as my daughter's regardless of gender. Pushing your interests on your daughter (until she can say no) is a recipe for disaster. Children's desire to please their parents often override their desire to express their own interest. Maybe you can ask your daughter what she wants to do with her time with Dad and do that with her vs. treat her like your son or other siblings.

Carefully pick those opportunites to bring your kids hunting. Focus on their comfort and making it as much fun as possible. Success with a kid during the hunt is not about the harvest. It's about spending time together in the outdoors. When I stopped focusing on the quarry and started focusing on their experience then you will find success in both. I let my kids bring their electronics, coloring books, crayons. We watch movies in the blind. Drink lots of hot chocolate and eat lots of junk food. I don't do early morning hunts with my young ones. Late morning turkey hunts. Evening sits on a field during deer season. I found that it was less about getting them into hunting and more about making a good positive memory with them. I truly believe that's the best approach to creating a love for the outdoors. Even if they walk away from hunting and fishing for a while during high school/college, I think at some point they will come back as long as those early experiences are positive.

The two female hunters I personally know are in their 50's and are extremely AVID hunters. AND have been for 30 years. My son and daughter were raised pretty much 5 feet apart from each other. Hunting, Fishing, Shooting, Archery, Dirt Bikes, you name it. When my daughter hit about 10 she got girl friends and it all stopped. My son is still into all of that.

I liked hunting more than my brother, I still go with my dad and my kids love it too, my daughter loves it and I love watching my dad teach her things. She loves to get out there and go walking around looking for deer signs and seeing where the herds have made trails...she loves it. My dad has early onset dementia and he is still sharp as a tack in the woods right now so I am encouraging my kids to learn all they can from him now.

I remember fishing with my dad, he had minnows or worms so i would always pick the worms. As a kid I hated bugs, but I always thought why are we fishing, we have a bucket full of tiny fish right here lol

Some of my favorite childhood memories are being in a duck blind with my dad, brother, my dad's friend, and the dogs. Get her some wool socks, bring a thermos of cocoa and tell her to chill the dramatics. 🤣

My daughter showed far more interest in going to the shooting range, and more curious about hunting and cleaning the kill, than my son.

Female lions are the hunters, and they the top of the food chain. I dig it.

Joe “Jamie & I were just talking about this yesterday” Rogan

when we were younger, my younger sister was more into the outdoor stuff like hunting and fishing, but as i’ve gotten more into firearms i have a much stronger desire to hunt, so it’s probably equally nature and nurture

They do that with everything guys like 😂 video games, hunting, firearms, cars/trucks, literally anything

My wife hunts and fishes probably more then I want to. She wants to go out every day and I cant do it. So she goes out on her own.

Getting into a craft, hobby, community, etc. merely for attention and the social credit that comes with certain activities is the motivation for most people, I'd say Joe. Not just vapid women. Narcissism has never been as severe and widespread as it is today.

My girlfriend was raised by her dad, a 3rd generation duck hunter, and I'll tell you she loves to duck hunt. Also, she goes hunting to relive the memories she once shared with her late father who passed on their duck lease in 2016. Her Facebook only contains 2 photos of her duck hunting, which were special memories she wanted to share, for instance her first duck she shot hunting by herself after her father passed and her first limit of ducks and several geese she shot on her own hunting by herself. That's it! She is a girly girl who does not hunt for attention or fame, but simply hunts because that's what she did to spend time with her dad. I had no idea she hunted until a couple weeks after we met in 2017, she keeps her hunting lifestyle close and private to herself and family. We both enjoy hunting together, whether we shoot ducks or not. She is 100% genuine about hunting and is not afraid to paddle a kayak 2 miles to a pond on public land like we did this morning.

I got a friend who’s older daughter and younger son are both very enthusiastic about excitement and being like their dad. Pretty refreshing

I think it depends where you live. My mom is a hunter and fisher, i come from rural northern Europe so these are very common activities.

You can not put much weight on the 90% of male buy licenses statement... I would bet of the 10% left, most are wife’s buying tags for the husband to fill.

its sad to watch an interview and be able to tell the interviewee is struggling not to trip over their own thoughts so they don't say something "inappropriate" that will get them canceled

I’m a girl, I’ve always been more fired up than my brother.

Rogan thinks women only do shit for attention? Nooooo waaaaay?! Someone give this man Nobel prize

Hmmm, I hunted for years but not till after I left the house cuz it wasn't a girl thing to do. So when I got out on my own I could define what I wanted to do. This was before instagram so I have no pictures and I didn't wear camos. I did however carry a pistol as I was out looking for scrapes, rubs, and trails alone in case I bumped into an unsavory individual in the middle of the woods. I'm old now so this year I gave my hunting rifle to a neighbor girl(well really to her parents to control it's use). She hunts bunnies and squirrel, cleans them, cooks them. This year was her first deer hunt. But she is all girly girl. Reason that one! I totally understand her.

The response should be the same for the girl and the boy, your 8 year old boy isnt any stronger or mentally stronger than your 8 year old daughter. The response should be, "I knew this would happen, put these extra pair of socks on and have some pocket warmers."

Fun story: Here in Sweden where I recently started my hunting "career", the only kids I've seen that have followed their parents out on the moose/boar hunts have been small girls. In these cases, they didnt have boys I think, but still its kinda funny that all kids Ive seen hanging around hunts or in the slaughterhouse etc have been little girls in pink camo.

wow Joe actually mentioning his family, that's really rare.

Nothing better than bagging supper. Makes you appreciate your food better

On my way home from work once, a stranger pointed out a pigeon that had the back of its neck ripped out (presumably by a cat or something) it was in shock, and slowly bleeding out. His immediate instinct was to call animal control, and let them deal with it. I knew their response time would be longer than the bird would live (from experience) and there really wasn’t anything they could do regardless (you’ll have to trust me here I spose, I don’t want to get too graphic, but there was no recovery from it’s injuries) so I opted to put it out of its misery. The stranger had to walk away before I did it, and even informed me he’d just bought a hunting license, that he’d suddenly realized he’d likely never be able to use. If he couldn’t even assist in the death of an animal already clearly suffering... I was pretty inclined to believe him. I really appreciated running into him that day, because as people we were so naturally opposite in every perceivable way. Man v woman, sensitive v somewhat desensitized, hopeful v logical. By our presumed natures, we should have been in the opposite places. It really threw me into an interesting contemplation spiral. I can’t say for him, coz I never saw him again, but I’ve always been the way I am at my core. Even despite my mom and dad raising me to end up quite differently. Mother Nature is a weird random b!tch sometimes ☺️

Steve's wife just gave him the "FU" look and rolled her eye's when she heard him say he would like to have 100 kids. 🤣

Look, there are very few athletic things that women and men can both enjoy for their entire lives that both sexes can participate in equally. Hunting and auto racing are two of those things. Can we not condemn women for participating in these things? If anything we should encourage it, especially when you consider that as a percentage of the whole, women are more competitive with men in top-level drag racing than they are in any other sport.

I was the biggest Tomboy ever and do anything my Dad was doing, my younger brother was the opposite and loved to help Mom

The line I often observe (subjectively) is that some kids are more reactionary and others are more thoughtful. It doesn’t affect their interests but thoughtful people don’t show the usual signs of excitement. Regardless of gender

my dad is a mechanic and it took me until 17 to not feel so intimidated to really get into it. Now it's one of my favorite past times, although i wish I got more into it as a younger kid I think things went the way they're supposed to be.
