Mine hunts with me. She shot her first caribou about 10 yrs ago with Arctic Safaris when I was guiding there. Sh has since shot about 6 deer and a moose and a black bear at our cabin that she thought was way too bold. I was working on my quad when it came around. Instead of getting me she went to the cabin for her 260 and rolled him over. She is a good shot and likes practicing on those little furry critters. Now wants to dress her own animals but I usually have to apply bandaids even when she is peeling potatoes. Her rifle and shotgun have been altered to fit her and the cz 452 American was OK as it came other than bedding and tinkering with the trigger.
Question for All the Married/Otherwise Attached Hunters out there :D
- Thread starter Candychikita
- Start date
My wife and I are knocking on the door of 35 years of marriage. We have our separate time for vacations and time together. When I'm hunting my wife works and vise versa when she goes away. Together we spend 3 to 4 weeks in Mexico during January and February along with small weekend dates around home. When first married time was limited for hunting because raising a family comes first, now that we have been empty nesters for years my hunting time is unlimited and I always receive her blessing. What more can a husband ask for?What is it that your female things do while you're out hunting?
Do they come with you? (Do they hunt as well?)
Do they stay home? (Same ol' same ol'?)
Do they do anything special for themselves while you're away? (Spa time, girls only gatherings...etc etc)
I'd appreciate if you guys wouldn't mind taking a moment to ask your ladies...doing a wee bit of market research here.
Thank you ever so much
Mine used to hunt with me a bit locally, and has shot a few deer. Its been a long time though. She has also gone to Africa and Australia a few times as an observer.
Most of the time she seems to be OK with staying home and playing with her diamonds instead. While I don't really understand that, I have learned that raccoons, women and walleye will go for the shiney things every time. Why question it when its working?

OMG, TOO FUNNY!! So true but so funny!!
When I was married mine would just do her normal routine. Putz around the house, relax a bit. Had to get her morning Tim's herself on hunt days, lol! She would often go shopping or checking out the last of the yard sales before weather turned. She would often visit with friends in her hometown about 45 minutes drive. Never got upset by my going hunting, in fact most times she would just laugh at my "fashion" sense and remind me camo was not a fashionable colour! She was never interested in going along but once asked me to show her how I set up a decoy spread and layout blind so one morning I set 5 dozen goose decoys in the back yard along with my layout blind, jumped in and yelled to her in the house that I needed a hand with something. When she came out I popped up in the blind and yelled "take em"! She laughed and laughed so hard she started to hold her stomach and turn red.
After a minute she said you are too funny and so cute. She was a true blue girly girl. She never questioned or mocked my going hunting but I don't think she really understood it or the obsession. Her Mother was a hunter and she could never understand that? Her mother shot a nice bull moose on a trip to Hearst, Ont. in 1974 with her best friend, another woman and the two ladies each shot a Moose on that trip alone, no husbands, son's etc. It was a cool story and appeared in the North Bay Nugget in Oct 74.

My girlfriend grew up hunting with her family and I've since been welcomed into the family and their hunt club. We goose hunt together, partridge hunt and bow hunt together. For big game we travel to and from the bush together but the time in the blind is our time. The only time she lets me hunt with her is for bear because she hates tree stands and hates walking out in the dark. I've told her if the tree stand falls I'm not going to be able to stop it and she's carrying a rifle on the walk in and out. She just hit me and said she knew that but she feels better when I'm there so who am I to say no? Celebrating our successes together is an amazing feeling and I wouldn't trade it for anything. We do have our own hobbies and interests, she doesn't stop me from going to hockey games and on ice fishing trips and I don't bat an eye when she has her girls only trips and spa days...it's a win-win!
My wife thought this was pretty funny.
Lesley came for birds with me a couple of times in nice weather, once she came hunting with me in late november south of Ft McMurray. We got up early, I had her all set up with good gear, warm wool pants etc, she drank two cups of coffee before we left, got another large before we hit the road.
An hour later, we are on the winter road to SK, I dropped the quad and she looked at me an said she had to pee.
Two hours of hunting, dropping her drawers three times in -20 weather and she decided hunting was my thing.

My wife doesn't hunt .
She does not mind cooking wild meat, but don't ask her to get anywhere near an animal!

You miss quoted me. It's one thing if he shot faster and got us lunch. The sad fact is he tends to shoot faster then misses. We tend to take turns shooting now, after that B.S. happened a few times!!
Mine doesn't care to hunt but is the boss once the animal is quartered. Just keep bringing meat and sharpening knives.
Which the kids and I find amusing at family events, because her brother is the prodigal son and gets the honorary 'Manly man' job of carving the turkey with an electric knife
She is the best hand with a knife in her whole clan.

Mine has accepted the fact that once fall arrives, I will be in the woods on good days. I don't have to pussyfoot around and ask to go, she usually says " I assumed you are going hunting"
She would come with me if not for watching the kids. When she was pregnant she watched the hunting channel so much she got her own bow. She's not sure about the kill but I think that would change once something is in her sights.
She has other women at the camp to keep her company or she will go out with her sister or friends. I have it good!

Mine stays home. I use to take her hunting but she was like a D8 Caterpillar dozer going thru the woods.
She don't like me going hunting so much in the winter, but that's the way I was when we met, so nothing's changed on my end.
"Men marry women expecting them to NOT change, and they do....
Women marry men HOPING they change, and they don't".
'Nuff said.
