My wife's perspective - "you hunt all the time and that's all you do"
Reality - I get to go out may be 3 time a year. Once or twice for dove either all day or 1/2 day, 2-3 days for deer, and may be a day for rabbits and or pheasant. This year I'm probably missing dove all together, but I'm going for grouse.

She hates guns and hates that I hunt, but she loves me enough that she lets me do it, which says a lot for the kind of person that she is. She definitely doesn't understand and definitely disagrees with it, but tolerates it.

I have 2 deer tags for 3rd rifle in mid Nov. Our 5th child is due in early Oct. I'm hoping that she's up to it and that I feel OK taking off for a few days with my oldest son (1 son, 4 daughters). Luckily my kids like the steaks and chorizo I make. My wife won't touch it.

She definitely does her part and I can't complain, but I sure wish she'd come around.
