me and my wife are comeing up on our 12th wedding annaversary in july 2010. when we first met she not only dislike hunting, wild game meat, she even didn't think people should keep guns. but i liked her and wanted to get to know her better, so i took her out a few times but did not discuss hunting at first i slowly eased into it. we fell in love with each other and started talking about our future, then i thought i had better talk to her about hunting and guns. she was stubborn but kept an open mind, i showed her videos of animals that were'nt hunted in certain areas and how diseased they were and starving, how healthy the ones in areas that are hunted are. and took her to a slaughter house, now that really was the iceing on the cake. she said that she agrees with me hunting is more humane, now to get her to eat deer meat. she agreed under one condition, if she tried it but hated it that i would'nt keep trying to get her to eat it. i agreed i cooked it up, she tried it, well i had to go to my friends house and get more meat. she loved it and that part of the conversion was over. i do have to say she still can't bring herself to eat rabbit, she had one for a pet once so she still wont try it, but she says its ok to hunt them, and she'll cook them for me so cool with that. guns have been a slower process untill last year she only thought( after some talk about home invasions and other criminal acts) that a person should only be allowed guns in their home. then tragedy struck, last year a guy she knew for her whole life was walking home in town on a sidewalk, a group of guys on booze and drugs started to harrass him then stabbed him in the heart. she then after she stopped crying told me she was sorry she ever thought the way she did. now she wants me to get my concealed weapons permit as soon as we can. i was paitiant and i beleive we have to be when we try to convince someone who doesn't understand about hunting or guns. if you like her i say try to take her out again, slowly progress to hunting. now i was blessed to have a women that was open minded, but she was stubborn in the begining. now if your girl wont even think about being open minded and is her or the hiway attitude then its probably a lost cause. but it wont hurt to try, if you like give it a shot at least you say you tried. if you don't you'll always wonder what if.
