I must say that when hunting season comes around the look in my wife's eyes is not always a happy one, for she is well aware of the preparation the practicing and the laying awake at night thinking of how I can improve my hunting abilities. Which all means less time for her and yet she always says good luck and how did you do when coming and going. It takes a special kinda person to know that all we are gonna think about during the season is hunting and we will all put some of our responsibilities off to go hunting, with this in mind they are still their doing what is needed and even taking up our slack. So I say this, BEHIND EVERY HUNTER IS A GOOD WOMAN AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF THEM FOR MAKING HUNTING POSSIBLE FOR US ALL.
PS. you single guys can laugh now but just wait you will see.
Amen brother.

Great post. No doubt about it. I have a good one. She not only hunts every now and then, but also gets up every morning, cooks my breakfast, packs my lunch and sends me off on my merry way. PLUS.....she takes over all of my household chores during the bow season. :D
Good ones are one in a million and I hit the jackpot. :)
If I wasn't married I'd ask if she had a sister...LOL
Amen to that.
Well said my friend! :thumbsup:
Proverbs 18:22
He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.
I agree too. I need to get mine some flowers tomorrow just to remind her that she is still special.
I couldn't agree more! It takes a special lady to understand our likes.
Yep!
Mine even takes note and reports the deer she sees on her way to work. She goes stumping with me and takes pics. Yep she's alright.
My wife lets me go and is rooting for the deer!
Had the great fortune of meeting the right woman over 40 years ago, and she decided to stay with me. She rather enjoys my hunting stories/blunders, and doesn't seem to mind having dead animal heads around the house. Hopefully she will put up with me for a few more years.
This year my wife is wondering IF I'm going to the woods at all-no meat yet but 6 weeks to go.29 years and has a better understanding of what hunting means to me that at the beginning. Thank goodness she has stood true all these falls-the rest of the year is hers.
My wife could give 2hoots about hunting, but she is always supportive of my hunting. She will double check to make sure the alarm is set for the time I want to get up, she asks how my day went and is genuinly excited for me when I get something. She just smiles when she watches me tinker with all my archery gear, makes her happy to see me doing something that makes me happy. Suppose she figures there are a lot worse things I could be obsessed with. I found a gem!
umm....While I agree with you guys; Killie may be coming along shortly and telling us to remember 'it ain't just wives, it's spouses !!
I know, usually; when the lady hunts so does the guy but; ......
I met a couple who use to take turns; he'd hunt while she sat with the baby; then she'd hunt...
Yes I have a great wife she make sure that I get everything that I need to go hunting.Blake
Amen to that, your right on.
Where do you guys find these women
My buddy spent 20k to go to british columbia for three weeks this fall. He was home for three more weeks and left for his annual bowhunt in colorado for elk for another two weeks. Then i see his younger brother the other day at the sporting goods store with his wife and 2 yr old and hes buying boots to go to saskatchewan for 2 wks.This stuff is really starting to piss me off
If i want to do this kind of hunting one thing is for shure im going to have to run away from home
Jerseyboy, my ex was/is an avid hunter. She's killed over 70 deer, including several with the bow. Would you like her number?? She's 62 and a bit plump now, but still going strong. :)
My present wife doesn't like wild game, but she supports my hunting since hitting a deer with her car.
I guess thats what i get for having one of those high maintanence gals. Shes 47 and gets mistaken for my daughter. I guess there is no nirvana after all
Jerseyboy you have to come out of the woods once and a while and head to south Jersey we have'em If I had a second job as a pimp I would get you one...LOL
Guess it's different when you hunt to feed the family but Tracy is my best and only hunting partner. She isn't as experienced as I am but she brings an enthusiasm to the hunt that is infectious!
I guess that makes me super lucky!! I have a georgeous wife that hunts like mad! Every second she can get too. I introduced her to the outdoors and she really took to it. She has taken two deer now with her compound bow and is chomping at the bit for more!! She reminds me of my journey through my learning process, it just as fun to watch her mistakes as remember mine and I rarely get "buck fever" myself but I get it everytime I am over her shoulder!! Great stuff! Great thread!
Good thread! My wife supports my addiction as well.
My wife did not hunt until I started taking her last year. She killed her first deer this weekend and told me that she could not believe she hit it because "she was shaking beyond control and her heart was pounding in her ears". Looks like season will be shared now...
I can't say to much bad about my wife on here as she reads this site like some do a good book.(Like if there is anything bad about her) She is learning alot of things on here about the trad world and people. Greywolf never hunting in her life. Never had anyone want to teach her an she grew up working two many jobs to survive. This is a women a man waits all his life dreaming to have. She spents as much time in the outdoors as i do, and the only time she complains about me hunting or fishing is when she can't go with me. She is a natural. Outfished me this past summer and is trying to surpass me on deer this fall. Being a Native girl she has taught me to open my eyes more than i have in the past to the little things in our hunts. My girl isn't a material girl unless it's camo and equipment for hunting or fishing. Tough as nails and can gut a buck, thats my baby. I love you girl.
Awseome post! Sounds like there is some fine women around an awful lot of us here. I also must say that my very soon to be wife is very supportive of my hunting dang near every night after work and most weekends. She dosen't complain at all she is always excited when I get somthing or even if i don't. I love the fact that when I come home she will sit and listen to my stories and ask a milion questions! I took her along on a hunt about a week ago and we had a huge 5x5 come in right under the stand. I couldn't get a shot though. When the deer had gone she whispered to me WOW how cool was that. I think I am going to have to move that stand though because the two of us were shaking so bad we had to crack that tree somewhwere! Now she has a longbow on the way and as soon as she is ready she says she will be in the woods. I am a very fortunate man to have such a good woman standing beside me always. I love you Jodee Sue.
Im jealous of you fortunate ones. Keep the fire burning guys thats all i have to say
I am so thankful, that I have gotten my wife into hunting the last 8 years. Now I will admit, I figured this would keep her from griping about hunting expenses, but she has took to it like a fish to water, dead serious, and a better hunter than most men. She has taken 14 deer, and this year got drew for and harvested a 4x4 bull elk here in KY! So far this year she has the biggest buck, nice 8pt, 100 class, 170# field dressed , and with a bow. She bow, ML, and gun hunts with me. She really hunts hard, helps me build blinds, can even gut and skin her own deer. And if she is tagged out,she will can one I have killed for future use.Come to think of it I do have a lot to be thankful for dont I guys!
no wife! no problems- hunt all i want when i want ,will always do this married or not
Sounds good, wait till you are married and then you can re-post.If the alimony payment doesn't keep you from paying for your internet service.It all changes when you get hitched,resistance is futile.Just find a good one and you may be able to have your way...LOL
Ya I've got one of the great one. Never a word..but we do have an agreement there are 52 weeks and weekeds a year I get two weeks and 7 weekends to hunt she can have MOST of the rest of them. Fair is fair.
Joe
PS I said she never conplains although last year towards the end of Elk season she asked how much longer it was? I thought she was going to object. but no when I said it is just one more weekend she said "GOOD BECAUSE YOUR NOT LOOKNG TO GOOD"
I like that agreement problem is getting the other half to agree
