Waypoint TV Empowers Trailblazing Women in the Outdoors
Fishing and hunting are traditionally associated with a predominantly male demographic but women have been anglers and hunters for as long as the sports have existed. In recent years, a significant transformation has unfolded within the outdoor industry, characterized by an increasing prominence of women who actively engage in and excel at fishing and hunting. Motivated by an innate thirst for adventure and a deep-seated commitment to conservation, these trailblazing women have transcended traditional gender stereotypes, emerging as influential figures who inspire countless others to partake in the sports.
Undergoing a notable evolution, the outdoor industry embraces women in various capacities as mentors, professionals, and inspirational leaders. Going beyond mere participation, these women are instrumental in shaping the narrative of outdoor recreation, championing inclusivity, and advocating for the preservation of natural habitats.
Waypoint TV is privileged to feature remarkable, accomplished, and inspiring women such as Chasten Whitfield from "Their Life My Lens," Meredith McCord from "Chasin’ the Sun," Misty Wells from "Let’s Take it Outside," Sara Trampe from "The Sportsman’s Journal," Anna Calhoon of “Goin’ Coastal,” among others, who exemplify the spirit of women in the wilderness.
