I agree with that; that is why I said that if you take them with you more often, you'll get some time to yourself. I like to hunt a lot. It would be selfish of me to be gone as much as I am, if I were alone. My first job is being a daddy, my second is being a husband, my third pays me. Hunting has to fit in there...

Same boat here.. I have to cut my time in half to about every other weekend..

Just do it. It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.

I don't want it to sound like I'm not al about my kid's. I usually do what I can to make my hunting around their schedule. This will be the first time I have ever gotten a place to hunt that is not within 30 minutes of the house. Until now all my hunting has been morning or evening hunts. (about 3 hours max any given day). I'm really looking for a place where I can go for a few weekends a year (once or twice deer season, once or twice turkey season) just to "go to hunting camp". I don't want to sound strange but it will be a REAL DEER TURKEY CAMP. The land is out in the middle of NOWHERE. Your roughing it you don't just run home when you get hungry. Your there to relax and hunt. When my dad went to deer camp it was like that. He was gone for a few days. I'd ask where he was. Mom would say "he's at deer camp" and I couldn't wait until I was old enough for him to take me. (unfortunately his health got bad so he didn't get the chance. But I want that for my kids) No t.v. no phone the way hunting should be. I want to have it established before my son and daughter get older so when they grow up its just part of our family year. For example the day after thanksgiving girls go shopping boys go to deer camp for two days. Ya know start the tradition. I don't think I'm gonna find an offer like this ever again and I need to get in now.

Well, you can’t argue with that, other than the girls go shopping part… I have two boys and two girls, and all of them would rather hunt than shop! But who know, maybe that’ll change…

Yeah, this is where being the leader sucks; decision time! Not everyone will be happy, so do what you think is right, and don’t look back.

Gook luck man,

Family dedication is very important but so is getting out and enjoying your time with what you have a drive and passion for and enjoying all of gods creations. Take her along

One thing that we did was found an older Travel Trailer and a camp where we can put it on.. That way Momma and the kids can go along if they want to.. We are about 25 miles from out camp and that way if they want to come out and then go back they can..

i think most guys go through this problem my woman doesnt tell me no she just trys to make me feel guilty about it and the money it cost to do it the other problem is most of my buddies are single and can go whenever they want to i feel like im constantly missing out on golden oppertunities to hunt and have fun and we dont even have kids yet i guess the grass is always greener on the other side
