how many of your

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.

She used to like to go. I think its fun that she comes, but I also enjoy it when just me/dad/brother go hunting/fishing from time to time. She enjoys going but doesn't have the passion to hunt or fish hard.

This is my wife, fishing 100% of the time, hunting, she will go most of the time and anytime I want her to go. She just loves the outdoors, brings a book and never complains. Bird hunts and will hog hunt this year. Maybe white tail but I'm not sure about that.

My wife hunts with me about 70% of the time. Fishes about 10% with me. My wife actually fished more this year then I did

This will be the year that mine gets her first deer and she wants to clean it herself. She's watched me and my dad do it, she works in the medical field doing surgeries and she's just positive that she can do it faster than my father and I

Mine loves it. I'm in the dog house with her bc she made mention that I'd been to Colorado twice since the last time she has. Smart woman, trying to sucker me into getting tags with later season dates next year.

Mine has gone several times (elk hunting), she would rather trout fish and look for rocks now, said " I'm not getting up that early" confused2

My wife, is also my best friend. She goes with me 99% of the time both hunting and fishing. And works her butt off on the tractor getting the food plots ready, painting fences, never complaining. We've been together almost 40 years and I can't think of a better, "best friend," to have.

My wife doesn't go, but encourages me to go. She always complains when the freezer gets low on meat, so I have to keep it stocked. She grew up with her father hunting and understands the time away. Probably doesn't hurt that I hunt with my father-in-law.

My wife loves hunting. we have been hog and duck and yote. This weekend she will go whitetail with me the first time. Also
loves to fish. We had a boat and sold it to get wheelers...now rethinking getting another boat. Haha. She is really good at flounder fishing and will gladly spend 12 hours in waders for "just one more"




Heck. We even got married at a ranch. Just me and her and my vhildhoof friend who got ordained online for $2.00 at the united church. Haha. Definitely my best friend and we love to get into anything outdoors together.

Wife loves shooting, and will hunt birds, pigs, and varmints, deer and the like are "too pretty". She does love to fish! So i consider myself very lucky.

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.

Re: how many of your - 11/06/15 02:35 AM

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!!
