I didn't read all the posts,but there has been a few threads about this.I for one love my wife,and my kids.I'm more than happy to take my wife/family hunting,fishing,boating what ever if it gives me more time with her/them.If my "buddy's " can't hack it then they can find a new buddy.I met my wife hunting,she was hunting also.She is now just getting back into hunting after 4 kids.Last year she shot a white-tail that scores 157 B&C,and for her birthday I had it head mounted,for valentines day she got a new bow,for our aniversairy she got set custom arrows and new 280 rem.,my wife is more than happy with a new hunting knife than a new somthing or other for the"house".
I would rather have a wife that is supportive,than nagging everytime you leave the house.If you don't wan't a GF/Wife hunting then you are best not to get involved at all.It's easier to talk with your signifigant other about issues you have rather than bury your and their head in the sand.
If you are spending all your time getting away from your wife/family,one day they won't be the one that gets ditched.
