how much do you hunt? my girlfriend knows i will go out hunting and then come home and do stuff with her. She also knows hunting season is only a few months out of the year. we just bought a house and moved in a week ago and she encourages me to go. it gives her and her daughter time to go shopping while im gone. sounds to me like your girlfriend is too needy!

Thanks guys basically, she bought a bow to shoot with me but she will only shoot for like half an hour. I hunt as much as possibly like 4 days a week. I am in the Army so I hunt when I get the time. Shes mad because we don't spend all day together. **** I even took her with me today. Shes trying to get me to cancel my Elk trip to Colorado in a few weeks. Shes getting ready to be moving out

If she agrees to go with you make her as comfy as possible (warm clothes, hand & foot warmers, hot drinks) etc. If she likes photography, it may give her another "focus" besides just sitting there, being quiet. I don't hunt with a weapon YET, but do take the camera and have a good time relaxing in the outdoors.

If she doesn't want to go at all there really isn't anything much you can do, except to assure her that you will spend equal (or more) time with her and then do it!

Good luck to you both. It may take a while before she agrees, so give her some time to think it over.:)

Get a nice inexpensive hunting blind that is big enough for both of you. Then get her a nice fold up chair and give her a book to read and tell her to be quiet! ( You will still be spending time together) If that doesn't work, help her pack and load her car. Randy has been down this road before. He had one old GF say there had better not be any more deer get in the way! This was in Nov! Randy said it is part of my job. She is gone!

That would seal the deal for me. She will not change and never will. Why torture yourself and live in misery for the rest of your life. Tell her goodbye. This is more than just hunting, it's your happiness.

Women don't like to be second. A wife is one thing, but a girlfriend is another. A lot of people do things when dating that will not hold over time. Set a precidence now and if she comes around you'll have no worries later. Hunting season is a few months out of the year, she can have you the other months.

Good luck!

There has been a lot of good advice given here...... and I agree completely. If she doesn't like it, then tell her to hit the road! 99% of the time, women like this won't ever change. Find someone who also enjoys spending time in the outdoors, those kind of women are out there, you just gotta look harder and don't stop at the first pretty face you come across! In my experience with talking to other women, the prissy ones are the type that can't handle it!

Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

Having a happy home life for a Hunter can be tough but it's made worse...by US..if we dont have "Balance". If she was good enough to spend your time with before Hunting Season started IMHO she deserves at least part of the time off you do have. If you communicate with her thats most of the battle. The part most of us have had trouble with is giving up hunting time to make sure that is done.

If you communicated with her that during hunting season she would basically become a "Widow" then she's finding out your a man of your word. If you never said anything about how much time you would be spending away from her and just assumed she would understand your wrong not her.

There's no way to sugar coat the truth...sorry.
