RE: how much do you hunt?
Before having children I hunted twice a week so that's about 8 times a month. Now that I have 2 young boys, I get out about 6-7 times a month until we turn the clocks back.,..when it gets darker early, I cannot hunt after work so I am stuck with just Saturday afternoons.
Basically, I kiss a$$ to my wife year 'round until deer season. Come Sept-Dec, she's smart enough to let me have my space and keep Saturdays free for my hobby.
