My wife is real cool about it. Her Dad is a really great hunter. I admire him alot as a hunter and we've hunted together some. I think this has alot to do with why she is so cool with it; she was raised to appreciate it. Heck the only time she naggs me about anything to do with hunting is when I make a mess in the kitchen deboning and packaging the venison. She tells me whe need to build an outsideprocessing station. I actually think if I really tried I could get her in the stand with me. Butthis year I've beenbringing our 4 year old son. The wife's turn will come later, right now its my boys turn
