LOL - Well that still probably wouldn't go over too well if it was during the off-season, but during October / November that is when the day begins! But then again, maybe the family function wasn't as exciting as sitting in a tree listening to a 900 pound squirrel running around at daybreak.

Coming at you from the other side here. You all sound like you have balanced the hunting relationship life. My question back at you is has anybody else "created a monster" as my fiancee likes to refer to me? I went awayhunting with him last year but never really got out in the woods. We went to the archery range a few times and I watched, then on one trip he had me try it out and the rest is history. He bought me my first bow for Christmas, which took about 3 months to find and about 300 miles in driving, but I have turned into one of those people that gets nutty when I cant get out to shoot my bow regularly.

After watching countless hours of MOR (which mysteriously disappeared recently), the Outdoor Channel and a multitude of bow hunting videos I cant wait to get out in the woods. I have to thank him for getting me addicted to another outdoor sport in which I can spend a ton of money on to spend eons of my life outside. My only thought recently was, did he get me hooked so he wont get nagged and yet he still doesn't have to spend time with me? ? ? ah the things that go through a woman's head. I am joking, he wanted to spend more time with me, and this is something we enjoy doing together now.

Our son got his first bow for his 1st birthday, and this past weekend again tells me to "shhh" when I ask him, "where are all the deer"? He too watches countless hours of hunt footage, for him it's less exciting then Barney I supposed since it all looks the same when everybody is in camo. At 13 months he could tell me the noise a deer makes, most kids his age tell you the noise a cow, duck, dog, cat, etc. can make, he knows the noise a deer makes. Watching a call video the other day was probably one of the funniest things that I have ever seen, with the fawn in distress he started screaming back at the tv.... I never knew this sport could be so entertaining!

Remember the trouble those two items in the same sentence started last time!!!!

my girlfriend is kinda like yours. only i dont think she pretends to be interested...i think she is. which is great. ive taken her fishing and she loves that.

i simply dont have the time to devote to teaching her. i barely have time as it is. shes never been around guns or hunting or anything so i would be starting from scratch. i figure if we make it, and we stick together i will take her shooting...take her scouting..take her on a few hunts..then maybe get her into hunting if she sticks with it that long.

i could probably start a whole female archery club. her and my sister both beg to shoot my bow. i just know there aint no way they are gunna muscle it back or id surely let them.


funny though...she says she dont have a problem with it...but after 3 years now, i am noticing a change in her tune. why do you have to hunt every day? 1200$ for a stupid gun?!?!? etc etc...so we will see...we will see. i definently cant have a women around that is going to be like that. i love hunting and fishing and thats what i spend my free time and money on...they cant deal with that, then they cant deal with me

Women...

It's kinda like when you're driving down the road, and the squealer finally starts rubbing into your rotor... You've known you were gonna need new brakes for months. It's not a surprise.

So, you have two options. You can pull off the road and address the problem, get yourself all dirty and get it over with. Or, you can just turn up the radio and tune that squealer right out - untilDecember.

If that makes any sense.

Give it time! Wailt until the ring goes on the finger and a few rug rats running about!

My wife hates everything about hunting. I'm glad. My wife is my partner in many things, but this is onw thing that I would rather just go and do by myself, to be with myself.

MY WIFE OF 23 YEARS HAS NO PROBLEM WITH MY HUNTING.WHEN PEOPLE ASK HER IF MY HUNTING AND FISHING ALL THE TIME BOTHERS HER SHE ALWAYS SAY'S,ITS BETTER THEN HIM CHASING GIRLS AROUND IN BARS.NOW I HAVE NOT BEEN TO A BAR IN 16/17 YEARS AND SHE STILL SAYS THAT.AS LONG AS IT WORKS DONT FIX IT I GUESS.A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO SHE ASKED IF SHE COULD GO OUT WITH ME THIS YEAR IN THE GROUND BLIND AND IM NOT KIDDING WHEN I SAY I CANT WAIT. LUCKY- IM WAY MORE THEN THAT, I GOT A GOOD ONE!!!!!!!!!

As I get more and more into hog hunting, I've been trying to get the latest girlfriend to get interested in it with me. For a moment there,.. I thought I had her on the right path with giving her the credit card and sending her off in search of CAMO that she could use on the next hunt.

She came back with a pink -camo top, and matching hat/ something like below :



"What theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee crapppppppppppppppppppppp ? "

Chicks dig PINK! When I went to get my bow I got asked, do you want it in pink? The standard no, camo please answer spun a head or two.... If it's pink, we will buy it.

My buddy asked me to fletch his arrows for him. I asked him what color? He said he didn't care. So I put 2 pink and a purple vane on each. He now has the prettiest arrows in the woods.
Another friend of mine is attatched at the hip with his wife. She doesn't like to hunt but has tagged along a few times. One time I shot a nice buck, went over by his stand to get help and they are in the tree buck nakkid goin at it. I just stood there, not wanting to interupt, thought about just sneaking away again, but I still needed help. I stood there a minute, and all of a sudden another buck appears, right under his stand! The buck is watching them too! That buck stood there still as a rock for 5 minutes just watching them while they're making all kinds of noises and moving around....My buck tag is filled and on the ground field dressed, this buck is 30 yards from me broadside and I can't shoot and can't get there attention. The buck moves toward me and gets to 20 yards and stops to watch them some more and I can't hardly take it. I draw my bow and just as I did a doe walks up to the buck out of nowhere, stops, looks up at my friend and his wife, and I wacked her from 18 yards. The doe and the buck exploded into a run, the wife screamed, when they scrambled they knocks most of there cloths out of the stand. I yelled "watch that doe, I hit 'er good!" he replies "she's down right over there." How long you been there?"
"10 MINUTES! So was that buck and that doe! You 2 might as well climb on down, won't be nearly as entertaining as the last 10 minutes." To my surprise, they did, she had nothing on but boots,and when down they realized that there cloths had landed in a nasty blackberry patch. Being the nice guy I am, I went into the tangle razor weeds and got there cloths out for them. What are friends for? lol Think we may have discovered a new way to call in deer? Would have made a heck of a hunting show.lmao

LMFAO!!!!!! that's one of the funniest hunting stories i've heard in a long time...
