My wife grew up around hunting, so it is not that big of a deal for me. Plus, I hunt with my wife's brother, so she really can't complain. She knows that this time of year is for me, and she respects that. It all evens out in that during the year, she gets her time to do what she wants. My wife has never been hunting with me, nor do I see her ever going, but she rarely gives me a hard time.
