I think something can be said for the time apart that hunting creates. I would never bring a girl friend / wife hunting because its my time and I cherish the alone time. For all the guys that said "love should come before hunting" what happens when your loved one gets in between you and your love of hunting. I your partner will not let you do something you love and enjoy doing maybe they're deviating from love and leaning towards selfishness.
I have lost some hunting buddies because they got married and their wives wouldn't let them go hunting anymore.
...Amen, to that.
