blood trail thank goodness mine doesnt know about CWD . but you know i see it like this you cook it and it kills the bacteria. just think of where the stuff you buy at the grocery store has been. they have warning labels to be sure and wash after handling.lots of people have contracted disease from processed meats. risk of living as i see it.

I'm on my second wife because the first one had no sense of humor among other things...I now tell my 2nd wife 2 things: 1) I earned my spending money so i'll spend it in any way I want no matter what teh cost, if I want it i'll buy it & 2) i've been buying toys long before I met you & i'll be buying toys long after you're gone!!!! She understands...like I told her when we first started dating seriously...next to hunting, fishing & my dog, she'll come first!!!!!!!!!!! Brampton Mike

I hope this isn't a Canadian thing, but I agree with Brampton Mike. You have to have your priorities and spell them out first. I'm not married but I've seen enough of my friends spend time on the sofa for stupid things that I already know to buy the sofa myself(so its comfortable) and ensure the TV is twice as large there then in the bedroom.

What I would like to know is what woman have against Hunting. The last two girls (women) I was seeing spun a bearing when they found out I hunted. Thus the reason they were the last two girls.

340

PS: I've also learned that flowers don't always work (assumed quilt associated with them), when jewellery won't work (like with a big purchase) a trip or vacation is the ticket.

You canadian guys kill me!<img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle>
You think us american men are whooped? nah! just try to be considerate. being that marriage is a partnership ,much like a business, i feel finances should be discussed . equally. you know $327.00 isn't that much money. but when you have kids and all money should be watched. i used to blow lots of money before kids never worried. kids change things. i guess if i made $250,000 a year i would ease up but if i made that much i would live like i made that much so i would probably have to prioritize like i do now.
My wife has nothing against hunting. she doesn't hunt but never has said anything negative about my hunting or my introduceing our son to it. there are those that don't like hunting but i am not married to them.
340 you just must attract those nuts!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
I believe that i said &quot; till death to us part&quot; what part of that do some people not understand? I was sure about who i was marrying and knew who she was. why ? because i was going to stand in the church ,in front of our families and friends, and take oath to her and god that i would spend the rest of our lives togather.
We were both mature enough and dedicated enough to uphold these vows and understood the power of them. we understood that marriage is work and buddy is it. to make one work you have to be 50/50, understanding ,willing to bend sometimes and not to change who you are because if that is wanted you should have caught that before you joined into the union.
I don't threaten divorce if she doesn't want me to do something ,i usually will think about and if i really want whatever it is i tell her what i decided and she usually will go along. and that goes vice versa.
I just hate the looks after i spend money on guns. i will put it this way i have a few guns(over 40)and i will have more but the look when i do is just killer!

I get in the same situation all the time. Right now I have a K98 and a Romanian M-44 in parts hiding in various areas of my workshop and garage. I have to work on cleaning them up on the sly. I have a few things going or me though: I have quite a few surplus rifles and they all look pretty much the same, she doesn't have an accurate count of how many rifles I have, if she ever makes a connection that there's an extra rifle in the cabinet or in the workshop, I can say &quot;oh, I had that one for a long time.&quot;
Roses and diamonds do help.

Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms... who's bringing the chips?

I consider myself quite fortunate. The house and car are paid for. The business covers off the truck. The bills get paid each month. The wife gets everything she needs and most of what she wants and so do I.
However, I must admit she was a little pi**ed off when I wouldn't tell her the combination for my new 30 gun capacity safe. A fellow has to draw the line somewhere. gg.

&quot;The instant you start talking about what you'll do if you lose, you have lost.&quot;

OH NO good guy don't give the combo!
My wife has a key to my pistol safe but not the rifle safes.I am very picky about access to those ,ONLY ME!!!
She has never asked to be honest and i don't think she wants to know. she realizes how much ...ok i love my guns, there i said it. I LOVE MY GUNS!! so she lets me have my little uh... expensive addiction. She said once it beats gambling,drinking and lots of others .
I think i like the anticipation of &quot; the look&quot; it's great!!!
Oh yeah the scope is in transit. i figure tues or wed i don't have a tracking number yet i am going to get it monday. ha ha yee haww !!!

Please keep the info coming! I’m 31 and divorced so I have been around a little. I’m dealing with a new girl friend of about 4 months now. We have known each other about 3 years but she did not realize what went into hunting. She is a NJ boardwalk girl that loves the beach. It has been a little hard for her to understand my love of the outdoors and hunting. She had never even touched a gun until dating me, never slept in a tent (we are still working on using the bathroom in the woods), been off roading in a 4wheel drive truck, or realized how expensive a past time hunting is. She knew about my hunting addiction before she started dating me. Her idea is for me to, “shoot it, clean it, cook it, and feed it to me now.” We are now into the third week of a 2 and a half-month rifle season and she does not like it a bit. I’m back in school for a second degree, so I’m able to hunt every Tuesday and Thursday morning. Of course she thinks that is enough. She is a schoolteacher and wants to spend the weekends with me. How do I explain Friday evening and all day Saturday hunting to her? Oh, sometimes on Sunday as well? The Rut is about to start, HELP PLEASE!

Mello I have a used pair of Reebok's for rent for a very reasonable fee.All jokes aside. You have to decide if you can adjust to her life style? Hunting is a small part of the year. If she can't accept that you are going to spend your free time doing what you look forward to all year,then it's time for her to move on.If you're having these problems already it has to get worse as your relationship progresses.I've been there and done that.Now's the time to nip it in the bud.There are allot of ladies who enjoy the outdoors and would be glad to share time with you and the great outdoors.Ruger Redhawk
