I just ordered this book for my niece, who will turn 12 this month: I've been "following" Eva on social media for a while now, and it is pretty good to see a positive female role model out there for young ladies, especially as they relate to the outdoors. Here is the link to the book on Amazon, if anyone is interested: http://a.co/4Pp8kRS" rel="nofollow - http://a.co/4Pp8kRS ------------- TasunkaWitko - Chinook, Montana  Helfen, Wehren, Heilen Die Wahrheit wird euch frei machen |

I have far different view, especially about how her dad, pimped out her to keep his show alive and how she went along for ride. Sorry if this offends their fans, but it's always bothered me when has beens of all stripes resort to this. If she had stood up and said I won't be used, I would consider her a worth while role model. ------------- Want to stop Drunk Drivers, from Killing Sober Drivers? Ban Sober Drivers from Driving.

Well, after following her public posts for a while, I'd be inclined to say that even if she started out as a "tag-along" for her dad (whom I had never heard of), she certainly took it, ran with it and made it her own. I know that a lot of young ladies who are into the outdoors really enjoy sharing their excitement with her, and she seems to enjoy hearing from them. These young women don't know or give a dang about all of the cynical attachments; they simply love to see a young woman, like them, doing what they love and being successful at it. As for Donald and Ivanka, I've got a feeling that in the end, she will have the potential to do more than her father did, and hope that she does. In both cases, I see it as young, professional, successful women taking the advantages they have and doing some good with it, and see no reason to hold the "sins of the father" against them. Then again, I've always been a "look on the bright side" kind of fellow ~

I can't really argue with any of that ~ I'll call it a good purchase!

In Taking Aim, Eva tells a very personal story of choosing the less-traveled path to a rewarding life in outdoor pursuits like hunting and fishing. For her, as her millions of fans can attest, that has meant hunting as a way of harvesting food, caring deeply about conservation, sustainability and healthy eating, and getting closer to God in nature....
