Men need to think before they get involved. If she doesn't like hunting find out before hand. If she hates it, its your decision - relationship or hunting. There are alot more women who enjoy hunting than there used to be. If you get burned apparently you didn't take time toget her opinion. As far as planning excusses, women are no worse than men.A little respect goes along way. Don't turn into a jerk and life can be great. Don't exclude her or blow her off. Not all women OR men are created equal. We are who we are, and should do what we love. Just look before you jump! Hunting is a great way to spend time together and for family bonding. If your spouse doesn't hunt, help the embrace what they love. Good Luck. And Happy Hunting!
