Parting Words
By Kim Hiss
As I bring FSHuntress to a close, I want to thank you again for your wonderful participation in the women's blog, and for your support over the last week. I hope we'll channel the enthusiasm for the online community we've built into our local hunting communities, and get more women -- and kids and men -- into the field. Programs like Becoming an Outdoors Woman, the NRA's Women on Target and the NWTF's Women in the Outdoors are out there to help us do it.
In terms of parting words, I thought I'd leave you with an interview I did last January for the Wisconsin Public Radio Show "To The Best Of Our Knowledge." We talked about being a female hunter and some of my own personal field experiences, and I hope you enjoy it.
This country has a great history of women hunters, and every time we step into the woods as responsible sportsmen who value habitat conservation, healthy game meat and the importance of passing it on, we do our part to advance that tradition. Good luck and good hunting. --Kimberly Hiss

Thank you one last time(?/hopefuly not)for your insights/female prospective of this sport that we ALL enjoy. Oh before I forget, incase you did'nt already know it's been scientificly proven WOMEN have better hand/eye cordornation(spelling ?) than men.
Good luck and God Bless, and we ALL hope to hear from you again in some form or another. Thank you again Miss/Ms/Mrs Hiss.
Sad to see you go Kim. I loved your writing, you're very talented at what you do.
You gave us gals a rocking Blog here and I'm glad I was able to be a part of it. Shame its going to end.
Very Cool interview by the way!
I hope to see everyone around. Take Care!
Kim,
Thanks for helping bring the ladies out there to this "campfire" of conversations. You have done a wonderful job! I wish you all the best and may the time between jobs be brief.
Happy Hunting and God Bless!
PS - If you would like some new spring wildflower honey let me know a shipping address and I'll send you some after our first harvest next week.

Kim- I enjoyed your insight and all the other womens insight also. Good luck in all you do and hopefully we'll hear much more from you and the other gals either here or elsewhere.
"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.
So love the people that treat you right,
forget the ones that don't,
and believe that everything happens for a reason.
If you get a chance, take it.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy,
they just promised it would be worth it."
Last one out, turn off the lights.

Kim, thanks again, I've truely enjoyed the past couple of years. I will miss the blog as it has become part of a daily routine.
Happy trails, and happy hunting!
Kim,
A class act. Yours will pay off, somewhere,
Kindest Regards
Goodluck Kim,
Every cloud has a silver lining. Hopefully yours will be golden.
Shoot Straight,
Jeff
Your video proves you to be as eloquent and sensitive when speaking as your are when writing. I hope you will continue to find a way to share those qualities with the greater sporting community but especially with your female compatriots who will benefit from your leadership and inspiration. I pretty much said what I had to say in my last post on Next Chapters but I am glad to have an opportunity to bid you a final adieu. I will not say goodbye but au revoir for I truly hope we may see you again.
Kim,
Thank you so much for keeping such a great blog! Even though I've been pretty scarce in the comment sections lately. I always make sure I take time to read your articles and I was very dissappointed when I found out F&S wouldn't continue it. I hope that I'll run into you again somewhere on the world wide web!

That was a great interview, Kim. We'll miss you. Please get in touch when you land somewhere else so I can bookmark you! You've got my email.
We will miss you Kim ...
Great interview Kim. I'll echo Holly's sentiments...you have my email address, stay in touch and let me know where you end up....We'll miss you lots!
Best of everything to you Kim! I will miss this blog and all my pals tremendously. Thank you!
Kimberly Hiss
You have come a long ways Mrs. Hiss, but your journey has only begun!
Remember this!
-Alan Ashley-Pitt said it best
“The man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The man who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been.”
GOOD LUCK KIMBERLY AND THE BEST OF WISHES!
PS
Look forward to seeing your own show on "VS" and "the Outdoor Channel"!
THINK I'M JOKING!
You will be missed. I personally would like to thank you, along with others, for bringing more people and opening more people's eyes about this great and wonderful sport.
You brought a new and higher level of communication and thought to Field and Stream. That same talent, insight, and character of writing will follow yo were ever life takes you.
Kim, I wish you all the best as you move in a new direction. You will be missed! I, like the other gals, would love to hear from you. Thanks to you, Chuckles, for all of you effort and help keeping the Huntress blog (maybe a new hunting buddy in disguise!). I am really at a loss for words with the ending of this blog... and who knew that could happen?
ok i know i've been spending a lot of time fishing instead of being on here, but what the hell did i miss! do i understand that field and stream is cancelling this blog? really sorry to see you go kim. you brought a lot of thoughtful and meaningful subjects to this blog and they really meant something to the people that visited it. best to you and hope to see you somewhere where you will be appreciated. like clay said, your own show.
I have to say that jamesti said just what I was going to ask. What did I miss?! I've been gone for several weeks due to a death in the family and laid up with some crushed fingers due to a work related accident, which has left me away from the computer for a while. I loved the interview, it is a very positive thing in a world of negatives lately. So with this, I wish you the best of luck in all your travels and ventures, you have done a very good thing for society the last few years, and may you keep doing good things for many decades to come.
Good luck from Sportsman Matt, Holly and Cassie.
As a writer I regret the loss of a strong woman's voice in the hunting world. I always appreciated lady hunters and they are featured prominently in my forthcoming book "Backyard Deer Hunting: From deer to dinner for pennies per pound", which will be out this Summer. This book takes novice hunters through all the steps from locating deer and other game to putting it on the table. For more info see my blog, Backyard Deer Hunting, on WordPress.
Hahhahaha you're a woman
Who shot that buck for you?
Churro your comments are probably the lamest thing I have ever read in my life. You are one sad, sorry individual.
Being an Outdoors Woman (bow hunting and fishing) and a NRA Woman on Target (Marksman 1st class) I thank you. Its hard to find women getting into the outdoors but with support from the hunting community and the support of hunting families, I hope to see the percentage of woman hunters go up. kudos again
Sad to see you go, Kim. I wish you all the best!
I am glad to say that ss2 is not a hunter or a fisherman, what a relief.
wanna hear a joke
womens rights (hahahahaha)
Good luck!
