Corey, I respect your decision. But, you have already made your biggest purchase(s). And putting venison in the freezer isdefinately a plus like magic said. And, just the relaxing qualities of being in the woods is reason enough. Sometimes a person needs solitude to unwind. I have a sign in my room that reads "When I am weary, I go to the woods."
Now as for you wife not liking venison. Perhaps you are not making it correctly. If you wish, I will give you some preparation techniques and delicious recipes for venison that your wife will love. The trick is all in the preparation. Let me know and I will send them to you in a pm.
