I wish I could get my wife out hunting. She shoots bow and enjoys quading but not hunting. Though she likes the meat and in fact doesn't mind me hunting at all. I take both of my girls out (ages 5 and 8) and can't wait to help them harvest their first animal.

I have hunted with my hubby for 6 years now. It is a wonderful time for us! I just got my first deer last week while he was at work(I didn't want to miss opening weekend). I field dressed it and then he came after work and helped me load it up. We always process our deer together (and use the extras to make dog food)and it is a great time. It's nice to share something with him that he loves so much and as I found out I do too. I am glad that he encouraged me to go with him.

I'm not interested in having a girlfriend who hunts, but I do like having a husband who hunts. Seriously, I dont know many couples that hunt together, but the ones who do enjoy their time together.

I wouldn't mind a girlfriend that hunted... er... um...
Okay, what I meant to say is, Shane and I enjoy our time together in the woods too. It is awesome to be there to experience each other's hunting. We sit in the same stand and take turns, because this is only my second year, Shane has let me shoot both of the deer that came in (bucks), last year, and this year, but he says next year it is every [wo]man for himself! When someone you love has a successful hunt, it's just as exciting as if it were yourself!
I can see where some men are coming from, saying that they want some time to themselves, that shouldn't be a problem though... put one stand on one side of the woods and the other on the other side, then you are hunting together, but you still have your "alone" time... just meet at the end of the hunt and that will be that. Shane and I have done and do both, sometimes we sit together, sometimes we sit in different stands. As for doing the "guy" thing, there are still times he goes out with his best friend and I stay home with the kids, I don't feel the need to be a constant shadow! If I had a girlfriend that hunted, I'd take her with me and hunt with her and do "tomboy" stuff

Ive had several girls that didnt mind me hunting actually...but not to be big headed or nuttin...its not like they had much say in it really. ha ha No seriously they didnt! I'm very outspoken and the few that couldnt live with it didnt last with me long at all. The ones who didnt care a bit got to me...cuz i love fighting and arguing for some reason...and the ones who cared but couldnt do nething about it i took wtih me....its odd yes i kno, but thats just me. sounds to me like u guys needa not work on ur deer hunting strategies but ur women getting ones...lol

I had a girlfriend that hunted. I married her 36 years ago. We just returned from a mule deer hunt about an hour ago. Took two very large Mule deer does. We saw some nice bucks but we just applied for antlerless permits this year. The local landowners need to reduce the doe population and they are happy for any help they can get. I made two phone calls and had permission to hunt 9000 acres of prime deer country.

I have to settle for a wife that at least supports my hunting. After all, she went and got me my Sako rifle for my birthday. If it were up to me, I'd have settled for a remington or winchester. Anyhow, I have to count my blessings and hope that it'll happen some day.
