I hunt alone so no hunting buddys to piss off. I'll try giving her a talk before hand next time so its not such a shock. I'll also have to let her know animals can smell, took her 2 hours to get ready just to go to campmoose could smell her from 10miles away
Grads on your daughter getting her first bear. I bet you were just as happy as she was
Lol she would have to get up pretty early to come hunting with me,I'm ussually out the door at 4:30 or 5 am.I had a hunting buddy who jumped in my truck covered in aftershave one morning.I dropped him off and went about 5 km up the road before I hunted.Bonehead.
some people need time to get acclimated to the gore. my daughter took a couple of years before she would help out. after the shooting she would wander off till we were done. now she will help pack the meat and assist holding legs etc. she isn't ready to shoot animals yet but is warming up on grouse. if you want your girlfriend to join in you will need a lot of patience.
Reading through these posts, I kept wondering how long it would take until someone came up with this suggestion. 23 others did not. This was post number 24.
I hate to say it, but I agree. For your own piece of mind and enjoyment, you might consider getting another girlfriend. There are lots of them out there who are more acceptable toward hunting and fishing.
Take her to Kentucky Fried Chicken, and point out the chickens had to die so she could eat. How about breakfast? Pigs get their throat slit, and unborn chickens are sacrificed so she can have her bacon and eggs. At Thanksgiving and Christmas the Turkeys get their head chopped off. Easter ham comes from hogs. Does she thing Macdonalds serve tofu hamburgers? That veal cutlet started out as a baby calf. If she comes out west, we'll serve her some Prairie Oysters!
IF THIS IS HER ATTITUDE NOW, IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE IF YOU MARRIED HER!
No matter how much you try, you are probably not going to change her. Get a girlfriend you CAN live with, who is interested in the outdoors, and who will make a partnership with you. It's a lot more fun doing things together, and sharing life.

Have you chosen her for a long term relationship and want to have kids with her? If you do plan a long term relationship with her, it will always come up. "Do you need to go hunting again?" "Oh ok." "No action for you buddy if you do!" A continuous dilema...you will always have to make choices that leave you feeling sour no matter what you do. She must really be the choicest piece of azz to hang on to her...or your sport is just not worth keeping. You won't be the first to have to choose. Choose wisely.
I let my then g/f (now wife) tried some of the fish I caught a few times to get her interested, then I took her out. I think it's easier for her to not get the full dose of reality right away. She almost passed out the first time she saw a foot in the fridge (duck). Now she either comes out fishing with me or at least a half ass good luck at 2am before I head out the door to hunt.
Her position doesn't seem that unusual to me. I don't like gutting fish, grouse, or deer myself. But, liking or not liking it is completely different from having a problem with it, IMO.
I fully agree with those that say neither you nor she are going to change. If she gags on the sight and/or smell of guts, but still wants to come, I don't see any problem with that (as long as she keeps her feelings to herself if/when you ever hunt with friends). If she feels compelled to go on about it, or has a problem with the killing of an animal, considers hunting cruel, or any of that other hypocrisy, you'll have to chose between your sport and your girl.

Maybe you can hook her up with the guys I date. First year I was married I took my ex out into the bush after I shot a deer down by Port Colborne. After I got the deer out with the help of these 2 guys from Dunnville we went back to get him (might explain the divorce lol) We had him in back of the truck when he came to and start puking his guts out. It was a long quiet drive home that nite lol
I have yet to ever take a guy I was dating hunting since then lol

I've run into this too. Some girl in high school came to see my friend and I shoot gophers on his land, even though she thought they were cute, and killing them was horrible.
It was strange. No rhyme nor reason, at least that I can figure..

They do this only in the beginning to "catch" themselves a guy. Once your caught by them, the last thing they want to do is go hunting or fishing with you.

If you decide to stay with this girl, she will try and change you to her way of thinking. Every friggin' year there will be a huge guilt trip and your stuff will be out in the driveway. She will constantly get you to try and give up hunting in order to show her how much you love her. If she decides to come hunting with you, she will ruin that too.
My advice is, ditch her and find a girl who's Dad hunts and that has grown up in a hunting family. Otherwise, you will grow old fast and wish you would have made a better choice.
If hunting isn't that important to you, then be prepared to give it up.

I would have to agree with all the above. This is the best it's going to get as far as her going along with hunting. It will get far worse AFTER you get married. And as far as taking your kids out hunting - forget it - not going to happen. She might be worth it - maybe but then again maybe not - at any rate someone's going to have to change and my guess it won't be her. For every GF that's converted over to hunting or at least tolerated it there's a dozen that will try to make you take up golf instead. This is a pretty important decision for you.
