Default Hunting or marriage?

What would you do? I'm sure some of you all are in the same hot water as I find myself this time of the year. I leave for vacation Sat. I went hunting two days this week and flew out for a biz trip from an airport local to my hunting area. I fly back in tonight. I still have a 5 hour drive to get home.

A) Do I drive tonight?
B) Do I get up early and beat the traffic and get home by noon as the wife expects?
C) Since it's the rut, blow off the wife go hunting and get home by 3pm?

I'm choosing "C". What would you do? Are any of you all a good Divorce Attorney? I am pretty good at begging forgiveness.

I'd say C. I tried the marriage "thing" for 6 years and it just wasn't for me. 12 years of hunting and I still can't get enough of it.

Hunting or marriage? That's not a tough one.

Lot's of people get married/divorced multiple times... but a buck of a lifetime... well that's only once per lifetime......

I think a big buck on my wall is lot easier to take care of than my husband anyhow. (at least the buck won't leave dirty clothes all over...) 'Course the husband is nice for helping load deer into my pickup. (but then that's what friends and winches are for... )

There's a little motto that I live by:

It's easier to get forgiveness than permission.

All I can say is I miss my x-wife. But my aim is getting better. To me the question is a no brainer, I live with my girlfriend now and thank god she puts up with me and my hunting. Last year I spent 25 days up in elk camp. Not one complaint. Gotta love it.

Every time hunting feels like the first time.
Can't say the same of marriage.
If she leaves you over hunting, it just wasn't meant to be.
If that's the case, she just wasn't the right one, I guess.
Time to set her free.

Free free, set them free.
If you love somebody........set them free.....
