Just got to ask.
I consider Kare the voice of reason in our family. If I want some thing new/different in the way of a muzzle loader, scope or any huntingwhat not I don't have to sneek out and buy it. Usally if Iexplain the reason to her, it is a go. She has bought me a rifle because she heard me telling a friend I wanted such and such caliber and saw one with beautiful wood so bought it for me. She bugged the ickens out of me when i looked at a usedcustom Remington 700 in 300 mag till I went back and bought it.
She allows me to take off for deer camp for 2 weeks,where I have been hunting alone in over 6 square miles for several years now, with out complaint or orders to call every other day. So how is yor wife/lady friend when it comes to buying new stuff or going hunting? Also would you itch to the whole forum what a itch she is if she reins you in? There is a reason that I ask. :) Al |

Actually Terry is more than understanding... and i would say my situation is much as you have described. I know she doesn't like it when i hunt alone but she handles it as lomg as she knows where i am at. And I certainly have more work toys than I need.... |
RE: Just got to ask.
Ditto. As long as I'm bringing home some deer meat now and then, I'm fine. Mine always helps figure out a way for me to acquire my needed hunting equipment even when it's a little tight around the house. When I first got my ML, I was wavering on whether to buy it or not. She said, buy it, you'll have a chance to get more deer. What a woman!
If she were to try to reign me in I don't know exactly what I would do. I would be more likely to complain to those that I hunt with more than I would on the forum. But, that's just me. Chances are we'd have a war of words and get things straigtened out. I am usually at some fault when she comes unglued. More than likely I would be neglecting things around the house and using my free time to get ready to hunt. She's pretty good at bringing me around, lol. In the end, we both end up getting what we want. Good luck! Greg |

I guess we are just the lucky ones, But my situation is a little differant because my WIFE also hunts with me and she understands the needs and wants that I have . I have bought 4 New Knight rifles this year , not that I needed them but I wanted them so I could get rid of some of my other guns. ower type of wives are a dying breed as far as I'm conserned, God has blessed us with this type of wives. |
RE: Just got to ask.
The dog (named.. Number Seven) never says squat. Although he does squat quite often himself, but is kind enough to leave the yard and enter the woods to do so. He lets me do, sayand buy what ever I want without question. A new rifle to the house is thrilling actually to him. He never complains when I leave for days at a time, if I am willing to take him along. All he demands is a pat on the head, a kind word from time to time, a full water dish, some dog food and table scraps, and for me to allow him to go outside when he feels the need.
All joking aside, IF I had spouse, there are considerations and consolations that must be made to make both parties equal. A give and take so to speak. Just make sure one does not do all the giving and the other the taking. Believe me on this point. Also in the words of a commercial that I hate.. "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.." |
RE: Just got to ask.
My friend wants to know if Kare has an unattached sister.

RE: Just got to ask.
My wife just thinks I'm nutz. :D Fancy that!
OK, really she's a great gal and is very understanding. She never objects at all when I decide tobuy something... but has rolled her eyes about a couple of purchases (when she looked at them). I do think she would like for me to buy more clothes. |
RE: Just got to ask.
my wifes reply if i wat something is quid pro quo she need something in return or i cant do ****. i call it black male
|
RE: Just got to ask.
:DWhy Yes Kare does have an unmarried sister with out a boy friend either. Never been married either.
;)Personally I would do like Dave a get a dog instead. She is a bit more than I can put up with at times and Kare knows when any visit should end. :)Al |
RE: Just got to ask.
Married to the most even-tempered woman that ever lived!
(Stays mad all the time :eek:) Makes it easy, if I want it I buy it and never have to worry about her getting mad - she already is! |
RE: Just got to ask.
Mine always asks "another rifle, you can only shoot one at a time". I respond "another pair of shoes you can only wear one pair at a time". This usually shuts her up fast:D She doesn't understand hunting and never will, she actually roots for the deer to "win" when I'm out.

RE: Just got to ask.
Actually the secret is to have lots of guns. That way she can't tell when a new one shows up cause they all look the same.;):D

RE: Just got to ask.
My wife enjoys the outdoors. She loves to fish, so I take her fishing A LOT in the summer.
http://s90.photobucket.com/albums/k279/jaybe_06/?action=view&current=CynthiaontheBay.jpg She also enjoys deer hunting (rifle) - so I usually take her a day or three. Consequently, she understands about needing the right equipment. Being frugal myself, I don't feel the need for many guns, but when it's time to get a different one, she understands and supports me. No, I wouldn't complain publicly if she didn't. |
RE: Just got to ask.
well i can get what ever i want. do what i want. but that's why I'm divorced now i guess. :D well whats the reason your asking? but when i was married it was alot of give and take. i heard that's what it takes to make it work.

"If I'm doing the paying, I'm doing the saying!!"
A quote froma fellow I heard one day. Believe he's been married about a half dozen times. Actually my wife doesn't give me a lot of lip service, we communicate and get along great. If I or she wants something within reason we discuss and decide.I guess that has helped us survive 12 years together. |
RE: Just got to ask.
My Rosie is a jewel. She knows I'm nuts about guns, hunting and fishing and just goes along with the flow. The only problem I have with her is her total inability to answer a yes or no question with a "yes" or a "no". (Maybe it's a female thing.) Example: Question - "Honey, do you want to go out for dinner tonight?" Answer - "There'ssome lasagna in the freezer from last month that will take an hour to defrost."

RE: Just got to ask.
Ok the reason I ask. Most all my friends have the same type relation ship with their wives as I have with mine. There is a person on this forum that is forever whining about his wife in just about every post. I'm having a hard time not saying how I feel. . I know if I was his wife and I read thewhining he does I would burn the bed with him in it some night.
Kare doesn't keep Mary Kay rolling in high cotton, nor does she want to keep the diamond factorys profit margin high. Least I can do is give her what little she wants when ever I can. Talking about her like she was an egg sucking dogs isn't some thing I would do either. If she was a real pain in the rear I would just shut up as I was the one who married her. :) Al |
