what i have learned over the years is that with her busy schedule my wife has very little time to herself so alot of the time i take the kids with me and she loves it. And the real kicker is i have found that i enjoy hunting more with my kids than without them. but i will have to admitt it was a little hard to accept the fact that my nine year old daughter may have become a better hunter than her daddy , o well all i can say is thank God for kids.
