RE: the women.
I have learned over the years that my hunting does NOT come first. My parents were divorced after 27 years of marriage because both of them were very stubborn and would not relent to reconcile and share their passions. I WILL NOT have that happen to my wife and family. Their divorce ripped over family to shreds and has still caused much chaos. I do what it takes (although sometimes I am lacking) to support my family so I can take off to hunt without stress. Like today, I cleaned a mess around the house, and will continue to do so over the next week so that I can hunt a couple of times next week. I support my wife in her endeavors to the fullest, and she does mine.
