I am blessed with a wife that needs her alone time, and has no issues with me going 4-5 days on my hunts, 3-4 times a deer season, with at least one trip being up to 9 days. She has no problem with me doing day and a half trips to steelhead streams out in Erie Pa. 10-12 times a year. I HAVE to be gone, her orders, every Wed,. all day, { cleaning day }.. I don't f%#@ around on her, never have, she trusts me, and knows what makes me click. I could'nt ask for a better life partner.
