Good to Eva giving a response to the anti-hunting backlash. I don't know many who would put lipstick and eyeliner on before a deer hunt. I know she's a city slicker-hunter but still I support her efforts.

Go girl, I am behind you 100%
Every time the antis and PETA people go right off the deep end spouting their hateful diatribe,it only serves to re-enforce the public perception that they're all certifiable nutbars.
yup..like she says...Stay above it...the best you can do is just walk away.Quote:

The term can be used to describe people who are perceived as dishonest, arrogant, or simply naive.
The majority of people from larger cities are in fact city slickers if you follow the above definition...
As opposed to hicks and yokels? Keep on trotting out the stereotypes, folks....
I would like to be behind her 100% as well :)Quote:

Fame doesnt equal "city slicker"
You only have to worry about her old man that could possibly be behind you as well....:scream:Quote:

She's logged more hours in the field than most of the guys on this board combined!Quote:

I don't intentially wear makeup or jewellery while hunting, but on occasion yes I may have earrings on or makeup still on from earlier in the day....so what?
Eva has an image to hold, a brand, she represents many hunting and outdoor things and shockey probably has lots of sponsors behind the name and shows and she is constantly in the media and social spotlights - so she is probably told by the producers to always look her best - even while hunting. Again...so what who cares?
You are absolutely right. These kind of comments don't belong on here. I think we[MEN] sometimes forget what crowd we are in and don't think before we insert our feet in our mouths.Quote:

The fact she is a hunter and not the classic misconception of what a hunter is in the anti's eyes and minds helps our image. Everybody who steps in front of a camera has a makeup artist work on them, who cares? If I was her father I would be proud of her.
I apologize for calling her a "city slicker". I didn't think the word was that harsh at the time. I said it in a sarcastic tone as many have negatively criticized her on other social media sites, saying comments such as you're not a "real hunter", in which I disagree. I was trying to portray her as a good advocate for the hunting community with a little humor. I guess I should have kept the sarcasm out of the comment.
Eva is an awesome role model for those of us that have young girls getting into hunting.
She has communicated personally with my 10 year daughter on a couple occassions about my daughter's progress in archery, and her interests in hunting. Her kind words and thoughts (I think it was her personally autographed picture that hangs above my daughter's bed) helped give my daughter strength to pursue the sport she's learned to love.
The world needs more Eva Shockeys for sure.
I applaud the effort of everyone getting away from sexism and derogatory comments on this board.
I don't know her as I don't watch TV but anything to help promote hunting is great and I admire her for it.
When I sought the help of my friend's daughter to look for my deer during archery it kindled on her an interest to pursue hunting.You never know she might actually do it. It never hurts to involve young people for the future of our sport.
I was once a city slicker but not all city slickers are ignorant of the country.
It's the people not the place.
Best post on this threadQuote:

Really ??
Use the 'Report Post' feature. The comments were definitely unnecessary.Quote:

All the sexist BS aside she is an excellent ambassador for the sport we love and a far cry from the Elmer Fudd image the anti's love to portray.
Eva thanks for your support and commitment you're an inspiration.
FB
She's out there in makeup and earrings because she knows her audience.
Half the guys I see hunting nowadays wear earrings too.
I still respect them...sorta!
I think she is showing that a "lady" can hunt just as good as the manly men! Man, woman... I enjoy (most) shows, a pretty woman,yes it does capture me more than a over weight bearded guy in overalls...actually, a man in overalls wouldnt capture me at all!.Quote:

Sorry, Iam a father of 4.....
I am still scratching my head as to where you came up with this statement? Do you know where she was born and raised exactly and what outdoor lifestyle upbringing she had? And why you felt insulting a Canadian hunter (who just so happens to be a woman - whoopee) with that definition?Quote:

(Hey don't you guys wear your wedding bands still while hunting? Sheesh - take that jewellery off your too much of a city-slicker!)
And I am no prude by any means, I can handle jokes and shots and hang with the rest of the big boys and hold my own, but we don't need those type of smutty comments about a young lady hunter on a public forum like those mentioned. Show some class and respect. If her father Jim were ever read those types of comments (oh I am sure he hears them all the time) too me, if I were ever a father and knowing what *some men are like...that would make me just cringe knowing that is being said about a daughter I had raised.
Well Said!!!!Quote:

She probablys never been in a traffic jam in her home province in her life
ROTFLMAO Good one .Quote:
