How to's on becoming an AK outdoors woman

At least three of the nine women circled around the dead deer were former vegetarians.

None of us had shot the deer (it had been shot earlier by Alaska Department of Fish & Game staff and then frozen) but most of us were there because we thought that someday we might shoot a deer and we wanted to know how to field dress it. Or, in a few cases, we were curious if we could field dress it.

Several people eschewed the gloves that were offered, nobody mentioned the smell (at least not until much later) and everyone eventually dug into the field dressing under our instructor’s watch. We passed the knives around, helped hold legs out of the way for each other, and offered tips on parts we’d mastered.

“Deer field dressing” was one of the classes offered at the Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) workshop offered at Echo Ranch Bible Camp May 20-22 by the Alaska Department of Fish & Game and the Outdoor Heritage Foundation of Alaska. Becoming an Outdoors Woman is a nationwide program that’s been around for 20 years, but this was only the third year workshops have been offered in Southeast Alaska.

Some of the classes on our schedules sounded like those offered at the summer camps that typically fill Echo Ranch - archery, horseback riding, kayaking. We slept in bunk beds and had evening bonfires. We wore nametags around our necks and made new friends.

Yet for all the weekend seemed like summer camp for adults, for all the time we spent laughing and shouting and grinning, our motivation for being there was always near the surface.

“Field dressing” has a certain cachet even in the most urban parts of our country (thanks in no small part to a former governor of ours) but the relatively unsexy “skiff trailering” class drew similar nods of understanding when I mentioned it to people around town.

Trailering a skiff, like field dressing a deer or filleting a fish, is something you can only really learn by doing. You can read about it and watch others do it all day long, but until you wield the knife or the wheel, you’re just a spectator.

And for many self-sufficient Southeast Alaskans, observing too long can make us antsy. I’ve never been on a joy ride as joyous as zipping around Echo Cove with a group of women who were finally getting their turns at the helm. Our instructors egged us on, encouraging us to go faster, delighting in our wild grins and whoops.

Confident in our strengthened skiff-handling skills, in our crabbing boat the next day we offered to drive. Our instructor sat back as we drove, set crab rings, pulled crab rings. I forgot we were in a class, that we weren’t just a group of friends, out trying to get some crab on a sunny afternoon.
