            Well congratulations to the lady! I often thought how great it would have been to have my wife eager to hunt with me. But what she most wanted from my hunting, aside from the annual supply of elk flesh, was the time off it gave her from me. She was the world’s happiest hunting widow. 😳 Closest I came was my great hunting buddy Erica. In most ways she was superior to any man I’ve ever hunted with, or maybe just more pleasant company and far easier to look at. Yet when she came down the mountain with blood to her elbows and said she needed packing help, I knew the elk would be perfectly quartered, boned and bagged, ready to pack. From what I’ve seen, too many men/husbands who take their wives hunting are not the best, most patient teachers, and that impatience more than anything puts ’em off. Something tells me you will be different. Enjoy!

              Congratulations. My wife wasn’t an archery hunter but she loved to hunt spring gobblers. She became one of the best turkey hunters I ever hunted with. I believe most women by nature are more patient than men. Anyone who becomes successful chasing spring gobblers learns to understand the true meaning of patience. Some of my most memorable and cherished days afield were spent with her at my side just waiting to hear a thunderous gobble. Turkey hunting has never been the same since she passed. Enjoy your time together.

                  What a thing to share, I hope it sticks! Could make for some interesting pillow talk. Never been there, what an adventure!

                    Congrats! My wife and daughter both hunt with me. While my daughter has yet to draw on a deer, my wife has gone three-for-three over the past two seasons with double lung pass throughs.

                      That’s awesome, congratulations! I married a woman who doesn’t hunt, but loves the time off when I go hunting! I told my brother he better look good and hard to find him one that’ll either hunt, or enjoy the time alone. Sounds like you’ve got a winner!:)
