Hunting causing family prob ?
 

I love to hunt!!!! If I could I would hunt every week end and all 4 weeks of my vacation... But my wife would like to see me once in awhile also:D

Has hunting ever caused any marital prob ordivorce's???

RE: Hunting causing family prob ?
 

Nope, because for me, my marriage comes first, my life (career) comes second, and hunting fills the rest.

You had to bring this up didn't ya Longbeard :eek:

Yep , I am one of the ones that have seen hunting turkeys take over a family bond. I had a dandy wife and two lovely girls , but yet I was trying to work on something that most could not understand. In the end I went on a hunting trip to Ohio and as I was there I got aphone call from a lawyer. Well needless to say but when I got home I walked into a house that was empty. Yep it was the end of what I had started 12 years before. I offered to quit hunting all togeather in return for what I had , but it was too late. After the divorce the hunting bug just got worst and I never did more then I did before. I have since started another relationship , but that at times is rocky aswell , but when I got into this one it was Plain set straight that I hunt and I travel and this is something that I will not change...BT

My wife likes to go hunting with me sometimes.I go alot,but I know when it's time to stay home.She knew how much I was into hunting when we met,and knows that I will choose her over hunting,but she doesn't make me choose.;)You gotta love that.

Nope not here!! My wife loves to hunt with me so I can hunt and be with my wife at the same time! I love it. Even if she didn't hunt though, she would come first over hunting.

I get 4 weeks as well Ken and would definately spend them in the woods if I could!But oh ya,we've had our share of (conversations:D)on priority's!Not that hunting isn't a priority but it is a good thing I have a good wife because she does keep me thinking clear!Even after 28 seasons in the spring woods she still aint throwin in the towel!!!:D

No never any problems here. My wife knew before she married me I hunted and that would not change. She is very understanding when I pack up and go to Missouri turkey hunting. She even decided she wanted to see what I loved about it. Needless to say she got to see some of the action last year and enjoyed going out with me. I dont think she would hunt but she can sure do the filming.

I'm pretty lucky,I come from generations of hunters and so does my wife so she knew what she was gettin into when we married.Matter of fact I got married on the first day of Spring gobbler.She figured I wouldn't forget that way.It was fine with me long as it was a couple of hours past quittin time.Musta worked out ok ,We been married 23 yrs.
