My wife has come to the understanding that between September and February each year I'm "busy" as well as the end of April through mid May for turkey and the summer months for fishing.

I give her 2 vacations per year and usually get to fish on those as well. I'm damned lucky and I know it.

She doesn't mind and has helped me start Youth Outdoor Connection, Inc. where I'll be spending even MORE time in the woods and on the water.
