RE: Taking Girlfriend Hunting
 

Hey mxwarrior, you best make that girl yours as quick as you can, otherwise some toothless douche will move in on your action, then you're polishing your gun alone...and I aint talking your hunting rifle.


As for taking your GF hunting, here's the rules:

1- Pick A or B,
A- you leave your weapon at home b/c there is no way you'll see anything with all the noise she'll make, and then if you did kill something she'll be upset.
B- you pick a skinny-ass GF b/c if you wanna see any game you're gonna hafta carry her ass out there b/c she cant pick up her feet & walk quietly.

2- Bring a copy of Cosmo, and her IPOD!!!!! Sure she'll be turning the pages loud, and have her headphones so loud your neighbor thinks you're having a party, it'll occupy her for a little while.

3- Bundle her ass up in all your warmest gear, ...then bring a blanket anyway. It doesn't matter how warm it is, she'll be cold...and there is nothing worse than your GF cold and bored in the woods. AND, no matter how ridiculous she looks you tell her she looks beautiful and no deer will see her at all...(refrain from laughing)

4- The only thing worse than her being cold and bored in the woods is her also being hungry. Bring her CHOCOLATE!!! That's important, snickers, M & M's, cookies, etc. Let her stuff her face and get her ass nice and fat, she'll be quiet. And besides, it isn't necessary to carry her out of the woods too.

5- Be prepared to do something with her that she chooses now, most likely with little warning and when you want to go hunt. Too damn bad b/c she did "something you wanted to do." (whine, whine)

6- In a treestand be sure to harness her in, if she falls outta that tree your done!! Doesn't matter if it's her fault or not, you get blamed. She won't sit still for more than a few seconds, and when one ass-cheek goes numb, she's gonna get up.

7- Wear your sneakers, you'll most likely be walking in and out of the woods longer than you'll be sitting in them. As soon as that fresh air hits her lungs,...she's gotta pee...and she aint doing it anywhere near you just to make it quick, so forget about just bringing some TP.

8- Despite your ruined day, don't take it out on her. Tell her the deer just weren't moving today...even though she spooked about 20 without seeing them. Don't blame her or you're sleeping on the couch.

9- When there is no meat on the table that night, you take her to dinner or order a pizza., Again, it's not her fault. (wink, wink)

10- If she persists in wanting to go with you, break your two-man treestand, or move it, take it down, whatever you've got to do. And if that doesn't work, next time she comes out hunting,when she asks you what you think about all day in the woods, ...tell her that you think her sister has a nice rack. She might leave you but now you can hunt alone again. LOL

Feel free to add any more that I may have missed.

**Disclaimer: For the love of god don't follow these rules!**

Definitely keep it simple, and stick to the plan. If you say a certain amount of time, etc, stick with it ... keep her trust. And definitely keep her comfy - extra sweater, etc, and definitely no perfumes, etc. Tell her you like her natural stink - chicks love that. :)

I introduced my wife to hunting when we met 10 years ago ... seems to have been a costly mistake, I spend more on her hunting habit than mine, lol.

RE: Taking Girlfriend Hunting
 

leave her at home.......when your married you'll wish she didn't hunt.

RE: Taking Girlfriend Hunting
 

If you really want to get her interested, let her plink some soda cans with the .22, then go up to shooting clays. Get her her own gun too, women like shiny things.

Patrick,

You have the fairer sex all figured out. :D

I couldn't begin to imagine getting in a deer stand with my wife. Oh the horror.

RE: Taking Girlfriend Hunting
 

Patrick.........i read your rules...........your a genious.

Helps if they are raised correctly! I take my kids (Girl 2 years old, Boys 3 & 5) on every aspect of the hunt except the actual bow hunt. I let my boys discover my down doe this year (after I found it). This will be the first year I take the girl gun hunting. We sit in the blind, bullets in my pocket, read stories, eat junk food and drink hot cider. Haven’t shot a deer with them in the blind, but that’s not what it’s about!

This is on private land, I wouldn’t dream of doing this on public land. My wife is from a hunting family, but doesn’t hunt. She does love hunting season however, because she gets child free days.

My daughter will be available for dating in 14 years! But remember, daddy has guns, and she has 2 older brothers!

i dated a HOTT blondegirl this summer that hunted. she even bow hunted. she was a really good shot and has killed a bigger deer then me and her and her dad mounted it. our first date was walkin in the woods pickin out places to hang stands. i thought i had hit a goldmine with her, but she got crazy on me and there was trust issues. i guess it was nice then but i do like the fact that i can go hunting and get away from the b*tchin. im back w/ the girl i left before miss blondeie bow hunter now. she dont hunt but has been a few times and sat in the pourin down rain with me all afternoon and we didn't see anything and she would still go again(but not in the rain). she can shoot skeet ok too. im not sure if i want for her to get into hunting like i am, i like having my time w/o em.
