It is like taking a small child. Patience, do not yell no matter what, make it fun for her. My wife is not a hunter either. I took Wyatt (my 5 yr old) on a deer hunt. I had him sit so he could see me and told him where I was. I bow hunt in a ghillie suit and I am hard to see. As the sun was going down I was in the shadows. The deer came out and I was at full draw just waiting for the deer to put their heads down. Then it came "Daaaaaaaaddyyyyyyyyyy!" He could not see me and got scared. But he was behind me so the deer were looking my direction and I was in an awesome hiding spot. If I tried to shoot the deer would jump and I would miss. If I moved I would give up my prime spot. I let the bow down and turned around. Because my son is more important. I was very mad at the time and tried to hold it back. But I fussed about a messed up hunt. He was very sorry and apologized. I told him that I forgave him before we got back to the truck but he would hear about it for a long time. I made it a bonding moment. Now he loves to go with me as much as possible. My wife now says she would like to go watch the dogs work when I get an atv. I remember that I love hunting but I love my family more. If my family likes hunting I will get to hunt even more!
