RE: being married and hunting
I guess im another lucky one, when my wife and i staarted dating 17 yrs ago she had no problem withh me hunting, she USED to go out with me. she loves to fish, but know that we have four kids she doesnt go out hunting with me, maybe when kids are older she will go bk out into woods with me.

RE: Those with fiancees beware!
Men need to think before they get involved. If she doesn't like hunting find out before hand. If she hates it, its your decision - relationship or hunting. There are alot more women who enjoy hunting than there used to be. If you get burned apparently you didn't take time toget her opinion. As far as planning excusses, women are no worse than men.A little respect goes along way. Don't turn into a jerk and life can be great. Don't exclude her or blow her off. Not all women OR men are created equal. We are who we are, and should do what we love. Just look before you jump! Hunting is a great way to spend time together and for family bonding. If your spouse doesn't hunt, help the embrace what they love. Good Luck. And Happy Hunting!

RE: being married and hunting
When I got married I did not hunt and had never hunted in my life. She comes from a hunting family and that is how i got into it. My wife does not hunt and was not overly thrilled when i started to get involved with it. When we started to have kids I basically gave up all other pursuits (fishing,downhill skiing,golfing) so I could devote what free time I do have to hunting. Now it is just my family,my job, and hunting and i could not be happier. She gripes sometimes but overall she knows how important it is to me. In fact we just had another baby in May and she did not complain when I took off for a week to Montana to hunt.

Gotta say I am one of the lucky ones also. My wife hunts and fishes almost as much as I do. As a matter of fact, I gotta get changed and head for the stand with her to video her deer hunt tonight.
Keep looking, you'll find one. But be sure you let her know up front about your love for the outdoors, if she doesn't like it, get rid of her asap.

RE: being married and hunting
I am getting a divorce right now. My soon to be ex-wife would let me hunt but that is now one of the things she hated was me going hunting. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Screw that. Now I got me a new woman thatgoes hunting with me. It will be great whenI am completely free.
