Title: My wife made me a deal
Post by: MnFn on January 22, 2015, 08:41:00 AM
After reading longbow fanatics post about making a deal with his wife, I thought I should share mine deal as well.

I have been wanting to hunt bear with Stickflingers for a few years and when an opening came up this year I jumped at the chance, after talking with my wife.

After the arrangements were made, my wife said " you know, just because you are going bear hunting this spring does not mean that I don't want you to go elk hunting with Matt (our son) in September.  I think it is important for you to do stuff with him, if he wants to."

Man, I love that woman!

Hmmm? Pretty tough deal to accept! That's quite the woman you have there...

Now lets hope we can see a bear...

Sorry Jt,

We have invested 42 years in this deal, one of the top two best things that ever came into my life.  I would hate to start over now. I have been blessed greatly;  a great son who still wants go out and hunt with the old man, and a wife that likes to see us enjoying this passion.

That's right Gary, just because you're going bear hunting doesn't mean you can skip elk hunting!  I would say you are very blessed to have a wonderful family.  Best of luck on all of your hunts.

P.s.  Hunting with Stickflingers you should have plenty of opportunities to quote Marge Gunderson,  I'd like to hunt with them myself one of these days.

My wife tells me-"you ought to, you deserve it".  I treat her like the princess she is to our family and she makes sure i have freedom for my hobby.  I love my wife

Too cool!  

My wife made a deal with me too!  I asked her if she would mind if I dropped some cash on a new bow after I finished grad school, and she thought that would make a fine graduation present.

When you find a woman like this, YOU KEEP HER!

I hear guys complain, but like you my wife doesn't care about my hunting stuff.
I can hunt most any morning I want so ling as I am home in the evenings when she is off work.
Want a new rifle? Buy it.
Want a new bow? Buy it.
As long as bills are paid and there is money in savings she is good with that.
