She killed her first buck this year which was awesome, but she likes the go sit in a few spots and see what happens approach, rather than the take it to the max and try and figure out every little variable like we do on here. There is room for both and if it makes her happy that's great.



Yea same here. Actually she wouldn't call it "dedicated", she calls it "obsessed" :mrgreen:

My wife hunts a few times of the year, with a rifle, not a bow. Up until this year she liked killing does. She rather eat them than a buck. I see no difference, but what ever. She will scout with me a little but mostly the set up is up to me. She would help drag one out if I asked and she insists on field dressing her own, and when we cut it up, she's there to help. She's pure country.

With all that said, she does get tired of me gone all the time to hunt. I don't think there's many spouses out there that wouldn't be. I have learned over the years that if I make time for her as well as hunt, things go smoother during hunting season.

I agree with getting wives involved in hunting, it makes it so much easier, especially when your kids get to hunting age. I got to see both kids and my wife take deer this year and it was probably the most rewarding season I've had in 30 years of hunting.

Choke collar hmmm. times have changed. Wives use new technology now. If you use a smart phone they have the electronic leash plus they can turn on that gps locator and know where you are. Which could be good and bad.

:lol:

Luckily my spouse does not mind me going hunting. My hunting areas are within a 45 minute drive so I drive back and forth. She is happy with that.

I also tried taking the spouse hunting a few times. Each time I heard more snoring than I did deer. That was the end of that.
