I need your experience!!!!!!!!!

DUDE...DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was married once and the I had a desert sheep tag in utah...it was her b-day so i decided to go hunting long story short...i came home and all that was left in my house was all of my big game mounts and half a roll of toilet paper.

I didnt care much she was an idiot :thumb . i did kill a nice desert sheep in utah though!!!

at least she left some toilet paper, when i walked in to an empty house I DID CRAP MYSELF!!! :2

Whoa, relax here. If you are getting married and feel right about it then do it. Marriage and family is/are more important that hunting. Let's get our priorities straight here.

If you have a supportive wife, she will allow/let you hunt and support you.

Lets just not get to carried away, thinking deer or any other big game animal come before family.

Family 1st!!

Sorry Sheepslams didn't work out, but plenty still do.

i JUST got engaged...my first wife was a psycho but my future wife LOVES the outdoors!!! My sheep tag was a conservation permit that I drew in a raffle!

ANDREA IS MY BEST FRIEND, SHE APPLIES AS MUCH AS i DO. WE ARE GETTING MARRIED IN HAWAII AND HONEY MOONING IN AFRICA !!!

I'm gone EVERY wedding anniversary. We were married New Years Eve many years ago......she knew it when we got married (that I hunt that time of year). Heck, a few years she's gone with me on the hunt.

If I'm gone, I ALWAYS manage to send flowers from my Arizona hunting trip AND we generally celebrate it before I leave. You need to take care of the little extra things to make them happy.

If she's against it all together, better stay home and leave after the celebration. JMO

Wish I could help ya man! Bein in the military, I miss all the special days more often than not. BUT, my wife knew long before we got married that hunting/fishing is a BIG part of my life and allows me to do it as often as I can. I guess it depends on the woman more than anything!

Only half true, IF and I say if they are in the hospital or really sick then I don’t go hunting, I work and support them and that Is my time. So 1 don’t get married during hunting season, and 2 make shore she is in to hunting ok with it and I mean prenuptial ok have it that if she leaves due to hunting she leaves with nothing or kick her to the curb now. my .02 but I’m serious Family is more important but not to the extent that Most women take it. They know when hunting season is and should know that come sept 1 – Jan 25 I am hunting every weekend duck and the week of elk deer and bear. But I do guide too though so mine under stands. Jim W

thanks guys for your help. she says she understands that i will be gone alot during that time of year, and she is happy that i have such an obsession with hunting. i will keep you guys informed on what happens of all this

Good woman but remember good oghnest comunication between both and it will all work out. and I forgot to mintion that sending flowers home wiel your out will remind her that you are still there just not physicly. Jim W

Dont know.....cant hear her from the woods.

Oh yeah........put it off. Wait till spring when you have nothing else to do.

Yeah, definately family first. If there is a problem work it out. My wife's birthday is during the bowhunt. Some years I hunt that day, some years I don't. We've tended to celebrate birthdays on days other than the actual birthday. Celebrate your aniversary, take out to a nice dinner, maybe a weekend in a nice hotel, go window shoping with her and surprise her with a some cool cash to treat herself with. Doesn't necessarily have to be on the date you got married, just make sure that she knows you appreciate her and that she's getting the treatment 'cause she's a great wife. It doesn't have to be expensive (those were examples). If your hunting on "the" day--have a small boquet of flowers delivered as well with a heartfelt hand written note attached. Chicks dig recognition and attention and most will work with you on timing...

My wife is such an animal lover that the day before my 04 utah deer hunt she played bambi and powder for the kids,I tried to keep busy and miss the mindwashing!!!!!
