And if your wife doesnt like you buying alot of guns or hunting how do you go about doing it anyways ?? Confused

H): Every gun you buy costs 2x as much because she wants one too. Every major hunt costs 2x as much because she wants to go along as well.

Thats the situation I'm in :). She loves to hunt (as long as I do the field dressing). She has now taken deer with Rifle, MuzzleLoader and last year, Bow. Shes shot a 350BC Caribou, nice Wyoming antelope and will draw Mt Goat tag in the next few years (she has gobs of pts for them).

PS: This isnt really a spam thread IMO, its interesting, humorous and hunting related... want it moved to general?

My wife doesn't bother me about going hunting or buying guns too much. She knew I had this habit looooooooong before she came along. I have had a lot of my guns longer then I've known her. Very Happy

I'm with DallanC with this one.......but normally she doesn't bother if i'm just out with the guys hunting.....ONLY though if i go to Cabelas, then i'm in for it because i can't spend half as much as she does Laughing

I don't take the kitchen sink when we go to our Elk hunting camp in the middle of Sept, but we do have some luxuries, like a cot, propane cookstove and lanterns, wood stove for heat etc. Very Happy

If my missus had her way I'd have NO firearms and NO hunting. Shocked

She tolerates me fishing but she won't come with me no matter what, reckons it rates right up there with watching grass grow in the boring stakes.....is this a blessing in disguise? Very Happy

As for buying more bits and pieces, well, what I do with my allowance is up to me.

Cheers, Vince

Took my other half hunting once, I was just lining up on a goat when she talked it to death.

I'm not being fair there.................. but have any of YOU ever seen deaf people put their hands over their ears - and eyes?
Must be honest though, she sometimes lets me talk whilst she's interrupting. We have a donkey sanctuary a way up the road from here, they got a court order banning her from going within ten miles of the place due to so many donkeys being found missing a hind leg.
But seriously though folks......................

My wife will not shoot anything but paper but enjoys hunting with me. Smile
