Jacqueline Molina: Long Island Babes and Bucks

Today, AB3 speaks with Jacqueline Molina, Co-Founder and President of Long Island Babes and Bucks. She is an avid hunter and fisher who uses her platform to inspire other women to enjoy the outdoors.

Episode Highlights

• How a native New Yorker became so passionate about hunting and the outdoors
• Jacqueline on shed hunting
• Deer hunting versus waterfowl hunting
• Using a climber when hunting
• What drew Jaqueline to ice fishing
• The story behind Long Island Babes and Bucks

3 Key Points

• Deer hunting and waterfowl hunting are, obviously, two very different experiences. Deer hunting is generally easier to get into and can be done alone, whereas waterfowl hunting requires a ton of preparation and gear, and it helps greatly to have guides or companions who can do a lot of the heavy lifting or share the load with you.
• Jacqueline and a few fellow female hunter friends began Long Island Babes and Bucks in order to build a community which shows you can embrace yourself as a woman while enjoying hunting, fishing, and the outdoors in general all at the same time.
• In order to grow the hunting community and make it more inclusive, everyone, from women to people of color, should come together to proudly represent those who look like them. When one is inspired by someone who resembles themselves out there hunting, they are empowered to have a go at it themselves.

Three Powerful Quotes

• Once I got comfortable with a climber, I absolutely refused to hang another stand in my life. I am a person of convenience and ease. If it is convenient, I’m all for it. ~AB3
• Every man and woman that I’ve ever talked to about ice fishing swear that it’s one of the best times they ever have as far as outdoor activities. ~AB3
• When we started Long Island Babes and Bucks, we just wanted women to see that you can be who you are and still like the outdoors. ~Jacqueline
