My wife is very supportive of me hunting and when I fring home something her reaction is more than words can say. She also enjoys sitting in the box stand w/ me from time to time.

My wife is pretty cool but she does make fun of my hunting habit' s. She say' s I put on my tight' s (long underwear) and I dress up like G.I. JOE ( CAMO) then I go and play in my tree house (tree stand). As long as i can go I' ll keep puting up with her criticism. Besides you should hear me rip on her shopping habit' s.

My fiance " tollerates" my hunting. I wouldn' t say she supports it though. She' ll never say I can' t go but sometimes she' s a little pissy when I get home.

Am I the only one that has to say I' m going, you' ll have to get over it?

Been married for seventeen years and still waiting for her to say, why don' t you stay all day? I guess since I' m still married and I hunt three days a week plus those extra days when I take some advantage, she supports me.

My wife and I have been married for 31 years. We have raised three children and sent all 3 of them through four years of college. I worked a lot of overtime hours. I think that is the reason she tolerates my hunting activities now. She has been complaining a little lately though...she thinks we have too much venison already. She may be right, but I will find a place for any of it we don' t consume.

It took about ten years to get things straight but after 35 years mine is perfect. She knows I need to get out and appreciates having a redneck around to chase burglars down the street with a 12 guage. She doesn' t want to go hunting and fishing and that is good with me. My buddy invited his new wife to Alaska fishing after we had 24 years of trips together and now he can' t go anymore without her and she out fishes both of us.[:@]

My wife is actually a really good friend. Probably my closest friend I have. She supports me to the limit. Need a new bow? Yup, you sure do. Need to go hunting while I watch the kids? Yup, you sure do. Need help tracking that deer at midnight? Ok, I' ll stand at last blood. She doesn' t hunt and refuses to even kill a spider, but will go out into the swamp with me and fully supports the necessity to hunt and the passion I have for hunting. God Bless her!

My wife is becoming more supportive since our kids are getting to the age they can go with me.
