My wife of over 20 years puts up with my obsession. If I were presented with your predicament, I would have nicely told her that, "Honey, Bob doesn't bowhunt or he would never have asked us to go. You KNOW that I plan for Opening Day every year and I really don't want to miss it. I'll go with you another time." My wife is understanding enough to accept that. She bought me the sweatshirt that states "We interrupt this marriage to bring you the bowhunting season." Great girl!

Today's small bucks are tomorrow's trophies.
