Well after you teach her to use that scattergun, make darn sure you don't piss her off! Hope her name ain't Thelma!
Went out for target practice years ago and taught my girlfriend how to shoot a .45 auto. Man, she took to that pistol like you wouldn't believe-- ran through a box of ammo so fast I was going broke. I can see where a woman would like to have that kind of power at hand, but she was a little temperamental and I kept the gun locked up. I slept better for it
That's the way they look at the start, and this is what they look after limbing hundreds of trees. Notice the corner of the bit missing - chipped on a piece of frozen Ontario Ironwood. Also needs a new handle 
Couple of usage tips, if you haven't used a limbing axe much:
1) The thing is absolutely lethal, so I recommend standing on the opposite side of the tree when limbing, thus negating any chance of cutting your shin in half (a very possible outcome given the edge geometry). At the very least, understand where the arc of the travel path may go, and keep all body parts (yours and associates) free from that arc or there will be parts removed.
2) It's a great slicer, but try not to use it too much for primary felling, only limbing, as the stresses from felling will eventually cause a premature failure. Use your chainsaw for felling, and then limb with the SFA, then back to the chainsaw for sections or rounds - saves gas with little time loss and lots of one-handed, barbarian chopping fun.
Cheers

Well, Iqaluit is the government center, so really everyone here has government jobs. I would have to say soveringty is the main industry,
the government maintains a population up here and funnels in a load of money. However it may pay off in the long run, diamonds, oil, and extremely pure iron ore are in abundance here.
Upnorth, are you on canadiangunnutz.com? Thats where I got the maverick, the exchange forum is a great way to get deals and you can chat any topic you want about the sport, that site is the reason I was AWOL from here for 6 months. Other stuff I bite the bullet for the shipping and order online, but try to go local if I can, like lee valley and SIR mailorder.
I have never hunted but I hope to go out this year, I want to get a caribou for the deep freeze.
