MUDRUNNER Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 No, my wife doesn't hunt with me. I have brought her with me for a morning sit, but that was the extent of it. She's not really the outdoorsy type.LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccwhitey Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I just got Parkergirl to start hunting last year for both archery and gun season. I think that is great cause now i can talk hunting all year round:cool2: I do know a few guys that don't want their girlfriends or wives with them cause they see it as a vacation from them.

PotashRLS Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 My wife does not hunt. She sat with me a couple times during the gun-deer season a number of years ago, but not since. She likes me doing it but not herself. She's into scrapbooking now:sleep1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 My wife does hunt, but we rarely get to go and hunt together. One of us usually has to stay home with the kids, on rare occasions we get someone to watch the kids for us. Hopefully soon with the kids getting older we will be able to both get out together more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Though she does not go out very often I've been blessed with a Wife that does hunt. Early on I made sure though that hunting would never be a problem...I was hunting out of state and talked to her on the phone every night on the cell phone while we were dating. She knew what she was getting into and got her hunters ed certificates a few years ago. I am still looking forward to keeping the promise I made her..."I'll drag out any deer you kill".

Hoosierbuck Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Nope. My bride of 15 years does not hunt. She grew up fishing, though. She says that she will take hunter ed. when the kids do, and is interested in shooting a bow, and maybe even bowhunting. She likes to shoot guns but says she does not want to hunt with guns.

layin on the smackdown Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Yep! I got my lady involved after only being with her for about one year. Her third time out she slayed one with her bow and has been pretty hooked since...and that was 4 years ago. She isn't as hard core (or stupid as some might see it) as i am, but she likes to go. She goes by herself sometimes too, but thats usually after i keep calling her and telling her the weather is perfect, its late october, or november, anything can happen, she needs to go, if i wasn't at work i would go bla bla bla...She has been duck hunting, goose hunting, dove hunting, archery deer, shotgun deer and squirrel hunting with me...Her favorite is bowhunting. Heck, she even likes to hang stands with me...Its a pretty sweet deal, and i consider myself a very lucky man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I've had a bunch of girlfriends over the years, but only one that really enjoyed hunting. And she was a pretty decent wing shot too. I've had several that enjoyed fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Well I don't have a boyfriend so the answer is nope....and if/when I have a boyfriend/husband...he'd better darn well hunt,lol! I love Ruth's answer ..LOL :clown: My wife has just started hunting with me, and I absolutely love having her out with me. It just makes it that much more special when you see or hear things and have someone to share it with. Even just sitting in silence together, concentrating on a shared purpose has it's own rewards.

Orion_70 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hmmmm.......Maybe that's the reason I haven't gotten married yet, I can't find one that hunts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coles Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Next saturday my gilfriend and I will be together for a year. I first met her at a party a month or so before i started dating her. I came down to missoula to bowhunt for elk with a buddy that went to school down here. I called her up and met up with her after our day hunt. She has gone hunting with her friends in highschool but was just along for the ride basically. Well She went hunting with me during rifle season a few times last year and said that she always wanted to shoot a deer but no one would take her. So over Christmas break she took hunter safety and passed with flying colors. I bought her a full set of Realtree AP camo for her birthday and a couple weeks ago i bought her a Stainless/Synthetic Ruger Hawkeye 270. She watches hunting shows with me all the time and is constantly askin me questions about hunting. One that she seems to ask more than any other is "What will you do if i shoot a bigger buck than you?" Or "What if i shoot a state record buck, and you shoot a little one?" Lol I just remind her that Im her guide and she needs to be nice to me. But lately she has been wanting to learn how to shoot a bow. So i guess that is next on the list of things to teach her. I just love teaching her about the sport/tradition that is my obcession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I do know a few guys that don't want their girlfriends or wives with them cause they see it as a vacation from them. As much as me and my wife love each other we do still get on each others nerves from time to time, so in a way it is nice to have something we do seperatly once in a while. To be honest when hunting season comes along I really realize how lucky I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Man how'd you guys get significant others that like to hunt?!?! Mine doesn't...... yet, which is why I'm slowly training her. I got her a new Diamond Edge bow a year or so back. She's into it enough where she's hoping to pull more and maybe try hunting. She wants to trick out her arrows with 'pretty purple, pink, and zebra designs' and also wants to fish at some point. I may have a blonde haired, blue eyed, monster buck slayer in the works. I'm happy as long as she allows me to enjoy the outdoors without contestation and if she acquires an addiction for the outdoors like myself that's even better.

fly Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 My wife went turkey hunting with me a couple times, but hasn't went the past couple years and I don't ask anymore. She's not really into it so I see no need of pressing the issue. My 8 year old daughter and 7 year old son like it. My daughter will be deer hunting in a few weeks during the IL youth season! Me and the wife always have fly fishing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sluggunner Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 My wife has no interest at all. But I can't complain because she is very supportive of me and never ever puts up a fuss if I want to go hunting. It doesn't look loke my daughter is going to take any interest in the sport either. She is almost 9 now and all she lives for is horses horese and more horses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAarcher Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 My girlfriend is from the city. We started getting serious and she saw how involved I was with hunting. I took her on a deer hunt from a ground blind in a spot I new she would see deer. She liked it we saw lots of deer and a few bucks. She is now the camera woman! Just started getting her into shooting smaller caliber guns. Now she wants to try archery out. I tell you what for a city girl she is a dead eye.
