hardcore hunting vs. family life
I guess you could say i have it pretty darn good, i only work a 40 hour week, i get to hunt after work and weekends, i have a wife that lets me do so, i have a beautiful little 2 1/2 year old girl already and i have another child due on november the 7th. I think i kinda have a dilemma. I will be missing out on pretty much any hunting in november (the best month of the year), but i will hopefully be having a future hunting buddy in the years to come. I think it is worth it to sacrifice one month of hunting for that, right?

I feel you I have been a hardcore hunter for years but this year I have daughter that turn six month tomorrow. My wife goes to work very early and get home late so Lizzy Kate is my responsabiliy in the mornings and the evenings. It stinks to not get to hunt as much as I want but there is one rule that never waivers in my heart...FAMILY FIRST AND FOREMOST. Deer seasons will come and go but that little girls will be number one forever.

I feel ya bro! Got a beautiful 5 and 3 year old girl. Hunting got cut a little on number 2, but it's worth being with those girls!! Can't wait to get them Hunting, think they will love doing it. My oldest goes with me in the off season feeding them and putting cams up. She tells mom we're hunting! LOL!
Good luck with your growing family and hope you have many great years at home and in the woods!

Thanks everybody, the wife and i do not know the gender of the baby, we wanted that to be a surprise at birth. We would like a boy to even things out but it really doesnt matter as long as it is healthy. I shouldnt be worried about the whole november thing, i will be able to get out a little in december and it will still be nice to spend time with my expanding family. The best of luck to all this year.

My boys are 4 and 7. I've been taking the 7yr old with me a little this year bowhunting.
I've not hunted as much in the past 7 years as I did in 1 year before they were born...but it's worth ever minute.
