Field to Fork with Women Hunt's Renée Thornton and Kim Nieters

We welcome Women Hunt Chair Renée Thornton and Wild Sheep Foundation Vice-President Kim Nieters to the podcast to catch up on Women Hunt's Field to Fork course. Renée brings us up to speed on Women Hunt while Kim discusses her involvement with the Foundation.

Kim dives into how she has spent three decades working for a hunter-conservation organization however she herself does not identify as a hunter. Renée discusses the Field to Fork Industry program through Women Hunt and we hear how Kim is excited about attending the program and what she hopes to achieve.

The WSF Women Hunt® program offers an opportunity for twelve new female hunters to experience their first hunt in a safe, comfortable, and immersive educational environment at the FTW Ranch in the Hill Country of Texas. The ranch delivers a Field to Fork, incorporating conservation education with the world-class shooting and hunting instruction delivered by former US Special Forces operators and experienced hunters.

In addition to instruction on the safe handling of firearms and precision shooting techniques, each participant has the opportunity to hunt for whitetail doe. The course includes instruction on game identification, shot placement, hunting techniques and field trailing. With instruction from field to fork, participants learn how to field dress, care, and butcher their game and prepare it under the expert instruction of a master chef. Considerable emphasis is placed on hunter ethics, etiquette, and a comprehensive introduction and discussion of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation.

The women are matched with a Wild Sheep Foundation Chapter or Affiliate for opportunities for mentorship, volunteering, camaraderie and building relationships. They work with the Women Hunt® committee to meet their obligation to give back to their local community, support other Women in Hunting®, the Women Hunt® program and the Wild Sheep Foundation.
