I reach a certain point in the holiday season where I basically have to quit hunting as the wife reaches overload and gets overwhelmed with all the crap to do and thats going on.
I hear ya.

But I stay out of the woods during gun season, so I get the chores down then. I also give her an early Christmas Present which really seems to work well

. We only have an extra 9 days of late season here. It's all over tomorrow.
Thanks Double Creek.
Story to come - it's long.......
