Women Hunting Alaska by Christine Cunningham - Softcover

This compilation of 17 of Alaska's outstanding women hunters profiles the unique backgrounds that led them to their passion for hunting, and includes some of their most memorable hunting adventures in the Last Frontier.

Christine Cunningham's true stories of Alaska's women hunters take you along on a hunt with each woman as you experience their diverse philosophies on hunting. The women vary from 20-year-old Molly Copple with limited hunting experience—but unlimited desire, to 84-year-old Ethel Leedy who has taken all 29 species of North American big game.
