I got my wife into deer hunting last season. Well, I wouldn't say I got her into it, I coaxed her into going. She got a shot finally but missed. Fortunately I bagged the deer she missed the next evening.
This year I took her opening day with her dad. Her dad is the one who got me into deer hunting as I was a small game hunter before that. Anyway, we watched a couple does in the field that eventually left. Two more does showed up but seemed to be spooked by our blind and they left. Finally, just before dark, a nice little 6 ptr showed up. He was browsing in the field and gave her all the time in the world. She rushed the shot and missed. So that is 2 misses in 2 years. She thought I would be upset but I was only disappointed for her and not in her as I really would like to see her get a deer.
I am not sure she is going to stick with hunting, but I do hope to get her a deer before she gives it up.
