RE: How do your wives/gf's feel about your addiction?
My girl has been great about it over the last 10 years. Our first fall, I warned her that I probably wouldn’t see her for the next 6 weeks, unless it was on a Sunday or a really bad rainy day after work. She accepted that, and then what do I go and do but shoot a buck opening morning. I told her it’s not normally like that.
Anyways she understands more about deer & hunting than a lot of actual hunters I know. She’s gone on a blood trail before, and usually helps me process the deer. I never get a serious complaint about any money I spend on hunting or the time I devote. I work hard to balance time for ‘us’ along with time for hunting. She will complain a little when it comes to the TV never leaving the outdoor channel, but otherwise I have it pretty well.
She has no desire to hunt herself, but likes to fish though.
