Default RE: A WORD OF CAUTION

Man, that's gotta hurt. I am SOO sorry! Hopefully, the communication hasn't broken down between you guys yet, and you can still work things out...

For some of the others that this hasn't happened to, and who are smart enough to NOT want it to happen (I know, it's easy to be full of machismo when typing on a computer screen under a cloud of anonymity...), I went back and pulled a reply that my wife wrote to Antler Eater on his "A Mailman Delivers..." post. While some of it is personally addressed to him, some of the points she makes on here are worthy of pointing out. The emphasis is mine, for the benefit of this thread.

Ken,
This is MQ1shooter's wife, Alison. First, I want to echo what so many others have said about the awesome story and beautiful buck. Thanks also for the kind words and credit you have given me in some of your posts. Greg always shows me them. It is very easy to be supportive of him with his hunting because he is such a wonderful, Godly man and he makes sure first that I feel loved and provided for and he is, of course,a fabulous father to Matthew. He has made many of my dreams come true so how could I deny him anything that he enjoys so much? Sometimes I do miss him some during deer season and I tell him and he will say ok, I won't go hunting tomorrow, get a sitter and we will go to dinner and a movie. I know what a sacrafice that is for him, especially during the rut, and we have a great time together and then I don't mind when he is gone a lot for the next couple of weeks or so because he makes it clear to me with his actions, not just his words, that I am the most important thing.Just a tip for some of you out there,but in case you haven't figured it out big bucks are nice but not as much fun to cuddle up with on a coldevening or morning.As Greg hasproven here often, he is no dummy! No offense to all of you but actually what I mind more than the actual deer hunting is all the time he spends on the internet talking to you all. But we compromise! It is a good thing that I have always supported Greg with his hunting even before we had Matthew because now I would have to be supportive anyway if not as a wife as a mother!!I predict that Matthew will be an even more devoted and avid hunter than his daddy. He literally goes nuts when he sees the deer. He goes crazy when we pass those "deer crossing warning signs"you see on the road. He thinks that means we are going to see a deer right then and he wants me to slow down so he can see it. Tryexplaining that toa 2 year old!!! Last night we pretty much had to pry his fingers off the antlers and drag him in the house kicking and screaming; he did not want to leave that buck. He was perfectly prepared to spend the night out there with his new "friend"!! Thanks again for your kind words to us both and hope you have a good rest of the season. Congrats also on that new grandbaby, Abby; I am sure she is beautiful.
