Written by Join the ladies of the CUSF Women’s program, Project Mapleseed and LadyGuns for this episode of “She Shoots.”
This month we talked to Amanda Lynn Mayhew; creator of Just Hunt, That Hunting Girl, the Take Me Hunting/Fishing/Shooting Program and is a rising star in the Canadian outdoor community.
Guest Speaker:
Amanda Lynn Mayhew
Amanda Lynn’s passion for fitness and fun combined with her outdoor skills and positive attitude made her the perfect mentor for new hunters of all ages. Her TV show has been entertaining, educating, and engaging Canadians since 2016 and her social media presence is impressive.
Amanda Lynn has been organizing Women’s Range Days since 2011 and says “Ladies in our community are inspiring more women each day, to become more independent, self-reliant and strong. I am honoured to partake in this community and to be able to mentor and inspire as many women as I can”.
This young woman has proved her worth as an athlete, inspirational speaker, angler, power sports enthusiast, sport shooting advocate, and a hunter whose mission it is to pass on the passion to our future generations. Amanda Lynn was diagnosed with Graves Disease in 1998 and has given her efforts to bring awareness to rare diseases and health awareness including Progeria, Multiple Sclerosis, and Congenital Heart Conditions. Amanda has overcome these challenges and embraces her hunting roots, taking her message nationally to become one of the most recognizable faces of the Canadian outdoors.
Amanda supports the work of the CCFR Women’s Program and has partnered with the CCFR on multiple projects, from TV productions to event appearances, she is helping shape the role of women in our community, one shooter at a time.
