Ahhhhhh.... you worry about such stuff do you????? It don't mean nothing.

I don't think that her shooting a bigger buck than I would, ever would enter my mind. People(guys and gals) do it every year and it doesn't bother me one bit. I think one of the main reasons all of us bowhunters hunt....is the peace and quiet that we achieve out in the woods. You may always hunt with a partner, but it's pretty much an individual sport. You have to ask yourself how much peace and quiet would you get if you brought your wife. Good luck with your decision mahoningbuck.

So I guess asking the majority of you guys to help out at the next Womens Bowhunting Class for the NWTF Women In The Outdoors that I instruct is outta the question.... Huh

well, i am ashamed of most of you guys and your comments.....leave her at home[:@]......that is not even an option in this house.....if anyone goes alone , it'll be me........make her do everything herself...hunting is hard, she may not be ready for all of the stuff to do and if you do it for her, she'll never do it herself...but she has to get in the woods first.....dont push her, and if she likes it , continue educating her, if not , dont marry this woman.....lol...........find another that will be accepting of it.....

Personally I enjoy my time away from the wife when I'm hunting. I wouldn't mind if she went a few times a year, but every weekend is a little too much for me. Like Davidmil, she shops, I hunt. We are both happy.

I agree 100% with that DC ,This is my time and she likes to shop and play baseball. Hunting is my sport of choice.

i agree .....to a point.....i like my time....but what ever happened to yuo going to your stand and your better half going to another,meetin ' at home or the check station later ......i think more women should be in the woods, not in the malls.......ya'll have to do your part too......

There you go again HUNTMA.... if I'm hunting with my wife???? I couldn't be sneaking off to hunt with you.[8D]

I took my wife hunting once. I had gained permission in Georgia to hunt a 3,000 acre farm that NO one had been allowed to hunt. I noticed a huge raft of mallards using this flooded cornfield. I went in in the dark and at the first grey gloom of the morning was witness to approximately 700-800 mallards decending on top of me. I heard the whirl of the wings of the huge flock long before I saw them. It was awesome. So I picked up a couple ducks and quickly left. I told my wife the story and she said, "I'd like to see that". I called the landowner and ask permission for my wife to go. "Granted.... but NO ONE ELSE".

It was especially fridgid that Jan AM. I bundled her up in 3 layers of undies, my wool, my artic boots, balaclava, 3 pair of gloves etc. The day before I had just hacked a shallow hole in the ground and pulled a couple cornstalks over me.
"I'm not laying on the ground in the frozen mud".
OK.... "I'll build a blind for you on that fence row... there's some grass and a couple small bushes there.
"I'm COLD"!!!
"Quit your whining... it's worth it".
"I'm cold".
" Me too".
"I'm cold".
"OK.... I have to go break the ice and put out some decoys. Sit in the blind...it won't be long".

So I break the ice, push the big chunks underneath the ice cap and throw in a dozen decoys.

Back at the blind....

"I'm cold"
"It's fixing to warm up".
"How much longer"
"any minute now"

So, after all the hassle and helping her waddle across the corn field we're set. Here comes a couple mallards. Here comes 10 mallards. I'm not going to shoot, I want you to see the huge flock. So, there are about 30 ducks sitting on my hole and on the ice around it not 35 yards away.

"I'm COLD"!!!!

"You're not enjoying this are you"?

"I don't know why you dragged me along. This is your thing... not mine.
I'm COLD"

"OK>>> OK... I'll unload on the next bunch and we'll get".

"Unload"?????

"Shoot a couple ducks".

"Ohhhhhhhhh.... they're so cute. Do you have to shoot them"?

"Hell NO I don't. I got up at 3:30, dressed you, walked 1/2 mile carrying decoys, gun and you, busted 3/4 inch of ice off a pond, built a blind, listened to all the whining because I didn't want to shoot them. Women".

"NO REALLY, do you have to shoot them".

"NOOOOOOOOOoooooooo,,... let's pick up the decoys" and as I stood the ducks just looked at me.
They did fly off when I got to the waters edge.

"Throw me the keys.... I"m COLD. I'm going to the truck. This is your thing"

So I bagged the decoys and started across the field,.... MY wife, the blur was long ago sitting in the Dodge with the heater running. I heard the whirl of wings and looked over my shoulder to see about 100 mallards hitting my ice with me only 100 yards away. Go figure.

My wife never ask to go hunting again. When I really want to goat here I say, "HUN... wouldn't you like to go sit in a tree with me today".

"NO!!!"

LMAO.......but then again you have a point, i guess what i'm tryin to say is just try......especially after i watched this huntin' show this a.m......it was a husband and wife team, she whined the frickin' time, was a total disgrace to women hunters in my opinion.....i know alot of women, me for one , love this thing called hunting.....they love every aspect of it, even the hard parts.....but bein' a woman that was never taken on a hunt , i never knew what i was missin'.....after the first hunt , my whole life changed and i know other too that did thiers too.......we're a small breed, but we're out there.....some need to be given the oppurtunity first though.....
kudo's to those who are willin' to at least take them out.....if they have it em' , they'll be out there with or without you.....if they don't , they'll at least understand a lil better....maybe, lol.....if they don't , get someone new....

davidmil, I am proud of you. You at least made the effort. Most guys won't even do that much. Your wife will never ask you to go again.
My wife is just the oppisite of yours. I call my wife "old blood & guts".
