My wife hunts with me. She enjoys deerhunting the most, but she has also hunted rabbits, raccoons, and doves. She has expressed some interest in turkey hunting this next spring too. I enjoy having her along and to be honest, she's very perceptive. She will often spot a deer before me on the occasions that we deer hunt from the same stand!
We also have 2 daughters, ages 3 and 16 months. I see bringing my wife into hunting as a rehearsal for what I hope to be able to do with my daughters. There are some things that my wife doesn't like to do, gutting a deer being the foremost! I don't mind. I'd rather do it for her and know it's done right than have it botched up. I know guys that won't ask for help gutting a deer, that will really mess one up too. As far as the part about one's hunting buddies not thinking it's right for me to bring my wife....... I don't need buddies like that anyway.
