FEMALE PERSPECTIVE CHECKING IN - GO HUNTING!!!!
[ul][*]Nicely explain you are going with your dad, family bonding - 1 point for you[*]You are not going with your buddies and blowing her off - another point for you[*]You care about her feelings, don't want her mad, but really looking forward to year long plans with dad[*]Invite her to go on your next hunting trip if she would like (ball in her court)-asking gives you the point no matter what she says (as long as you can handle having her in the woods with you)[*]When in doubt, send flowers[/ul]
oh and, good luck to you & your dad
