I would agree with your wife. It won't damage his life to not go hunting and it puts a consequence to his actions. It will allow him to learn that his behavior has a direct relationship with his privileges at home. As my wife has pointed out to me once or twice. We as fathers and outdoorsmen should not allow our willingness to share this love with our children to undermine our responsibility to discipline them. In the summer I take my son fishing almost every morning. However, when he does something wrong he can't go. Sometimes that means I can't go and that sucks. But its better having a consequence for his behavior than him thinking he can do whatever and still get to go fishing with daddy.Being a father is by far the hardest job on earth but it is also one of the most rewarding. Good luck with whichever decision you make.
