I've tried to get my wife out to the lease. She says "nope, that is your space, I have no interest in it." But she is very good letting me get out there as much as possible.

I've tried to get my wife out to the lease. She says "nope, that is your space, I have no interest in it." But she is very good letting me get out there as much as possible. Yet another keeper. Took my wife two different weekends about 10 or 11 years ago, maybe less. Her dad was one heckuva shot, pistol and rifle, before his eyes went bad. She grew up around guns. Set the target up, "boom", right on target. I ask if she wants to shoot again. "Nope". Sit in the blind. Darn good hill country buck comes out. "Boom". Buck gives us the "What the hell was that look?" Walks, very healthy, jumps the fence and disappears. No sign whatsoever. Second weekend. Different, but still, very good hill country buck walks out. "Boom." Again with the look. Runs off, very healthy. No sign. I make her do a dominant eye test with me and I'm 99% sure she's cross-eye dominant (like me). She doesn't care and she's done with hunting. She wants game in the freezer and for me to go whenever I want. Happy wife, happy life.

My wife is a pretty good sport and she likes to spend some time at the ranch (especially now that we have kids), but I wouldn't say she's super thrilled about my passion for hunting.

I am single, so I don't have to worry about it. Touché.

my wife actually got me into quail hunting before we were married. She was raising brittany spaniels. She likes to go deer hunting, but just to watch the boys do their hunting. She would take one and I would take the other. Now that their older and bow hunting, the boys sit in the tripod stand and she sits 50 -60 yds. back in the box blind so she can watch and video. Sure doesn't hurt that we hunt on her parents land!!

Wives go hunting with you? Mine gets upset if I go without her. I can barely go fishin without her and her not get mad. I guess most would say I'm lucky in the sense that she loves the outdoors as much as I do. My wife grew up country girl working the farm, she is 99.9% city now! she is hunting with me Saturday with our daughter for hogs. my 75 year old mom hunts with me every year.
