Amen!

That made me laugh for about 2 straight minutes!! LOL

Totally agree BHG...she has absolutely no interest in going hunting to kill an animal or watch me kill one. She hasn't warmed up to the fact that our oldest son will be taking his first deer this year yet either. She comes from a long line of anti's (I am breaking that chain!!)

Apology accepted for my luck...she is a priss :D

My exwife hunted with me. I thought I was going to like it, it was a PITA. I had to do everything twice not to mention fight with her to go, fight with her to get in a tree. It was a relief for me to relax when she didn't go. Perhaps that's saying why she's the ex...LOL I do have a funny video of her missing a 4 point, 4 times...b4 the point restriction.

My new beautiful love of my life wife used to shoot a bow but she has no desire to go hunting. That's fine with me. I do my thing. I come home to loving arms.

buck huntin girl...i agree 100%. im working with her..but its hard shes 20 and i have to start at the beginning..i will have to teach things that ive never been taught..they were just common knowledge because of how i was brought up. id LOVE for her to get into shooting. but being she was never around guns and still shys away when i pick one up in my room shows me shes not ready yet. i take her fishing STILL after the whining episodes. i make her promise to listen to me and bring what i tell her to bring. this summer i actually had her drive seperatly so she could sit with me..but if she got bored she was free and didnt hinder my fishing. she ended up staying every night though. shes like a little kid..gota keep her interested. i gave her the bait bucket and a stick this summer. keep her busy for hours. i understand though shes not used to everything yet. she will get there. its just not going to be one of them things where i say hey lets go buy your hunting liscense were goin to kill some deer tomarrow. i dont know if i could ever get her in the woods....i took her down small trails fishing and she didnt like that much..so being in the woods might not work. idl ike to see her get into shooting..archery would be awesome. shes very interested in my bow and watching me shoot. she thinks its so neat. how that "stupid ugly thing" can " throw that stick so fast and far" and "that stick will actually go through a deer" another thing thats slows down progress is i goto college full time and still work. she works 2 jobs....so time is limited alot. thats why we do a good bit of fishing because we get more time in the summer...

id never discourage anyone from hunting. just gota build people up to it. just because someone is interested in hunting doesnt mean give em a gun and take them. i think it takes teaching and undestanding first...just the way i think. it was easy for me...i was born with a fishing rod and a gun...it wasnt a question of IF i wanted to go..it was WHEN are we going!

LOL... well, some guys like that sort of thing ;)

She comes from a line of anti's,eh? So did I. I hated hunters and hunting when I met my husband. I was NOT thrilled with the idea he hunted, but then he made me some bbq venison roast and my entire philosophy changed! LOL Seriously though, when I started thinking about raising a cow only to club it over the head, lol, I realized hunting isn't nearly as cruel as how that prime rib got onto my dinner plate!

You just never know... maybe she could learn to get the breakup pattern on her new acrylic nails... :D

RE: Girlfriend got a bow!!!
 

That scenario sounds sooooo familiar. I bbq'd up some bear for her and a bunch of her friends and now I am accepted in their 'anti-world' as the "you know, the guy that hunts" LMAO

You get me a link to those acrylic nails and they will be in her xmas stocking, LOL

I think it is a case by case scenario, because in my situation, I had mentioned a POSSIBLE interest in sitting in the stand with hubby.... maybe... and next thing I know, he's buying me a gun for my birthday and 3 months later I'm hunting with itand killing my first deer, and it all kinda just happened. I guess he figured, hey, what's the worst that can happen, I buy her a nice new gun, she doesn't want to hunt.... *I* get the gun... LOL It was a win-win situation for him!

I'm honestly impressed with the willingness of so many men just in recent years to teach women and children the in's and out's of the sport, it's really on an increase and I love it.

I really love it when there are attractive women that hunt because many people hear about a woman that hunts and they expect her to look like Brunhilda... it's like, Um, NO.... we can be lookers *and* hunters! :D

RE: Girlfriend got a bow!!!
 

If you want me to come help her with her form, i guess i could force myself to do that... It would be really tough for me to work with her but i think i could help her hands on.... LOL..... Thats good she like to shoot, Good luck to you both this year...
