Survey Question???

[ManOfTheFall]

I just want to have a little fun with this. What is your wife's #1 complaint when it comes to your deer hunting. I believe my wife's #1 complaint is You possibly can't need that many deer stands (12), her #2 complaint is you say you always have such good spots why are you moving stands every summer? Let's hear some responses.

[Strother23]

Haha.. Yea I here some of the same. Mine says do you really have to hunt that much and why do you need that many stands you can only sit in one at a time. Then in pre season I set my cameras and check them about every 2 weeks and put down corn when I go. She says why go to the hunting area when you can't get anything yet and quit buying corn.. It's funny

My wife calls me out on my procrastination when it comes to EVERYTHING besides deer hunting, lol.

That and the fact that I can wake up without an alarm clock and be..up...ready...and out the door when going hunting

[buckstalker17]

I'm lucky my wife don't complain at all about my hunting as long as she gets her alimony check Lol jus kidding never been married just felt left out :-p

[zachc]

I get a lot of why do you have to spend so much time in the woods. It's probably between that and you always want something new and/or more hunting stuff...well if they would stop coming out with so many new hunting products, then I wouldn't need to keep getting new stuff...hahaha!

[nomad_archer]

Well lets see. Her complaint is that all I talk about is hunting, chainsaws/cutting wood and guns. But she hunts so she understands the time and equipment that is needed.

[00buck]

if you see so many deer why havent you "caught one" yet

[hortontoter]

I guess I found a good one, my wife never complains about my hunting. Her theory is that I could be somewhere in a bar chasing the ladies or somthing along those lines.

If I need equipment, it is never an issue. Again, she feels I could be blowing the money on somthing worse.

She is as anxious to see the trail camera photos when I pull the cards as I am. Funny thing is she doesn't hunt. But, she will go to our cabin, which has no running water and a Porta-Jon, and spend the entire weekend there while I hunt. She likes reading and getting away from it all, so relaxing there works for her.

I hear ya horton. My wife about kicks me out of the house to go hunting. It is about my only hobby for most of the year between getting ready and being out there. Her only complaint is why I want a new bow. I get the "If you have a bow that kills deer, what do you need with a new one?"

[mneal]

My wife is pretty understanding... especially now that all three sons are bowhunters as well! I do get a lot of flack over all of the equipment and how much room it takes up in the basement. And then... there is her prayer every year that I kill a monster on opening day. Not that she is really excited about me killing a nice buck... just that I won't be spending as much time perched in a tree cuddled up with with my Mathews instead of her:)

You are a lucky man! SHe got a sister?

[hortontoter]

Sorry MJH, no sisters. And I agree I am very lucky, better than hitting the lottery in my opinion.

[frmrfred]

My wife's biggest complaint is "why does deer hunting have to be so expensive." Like her shopping isn't expensive.

[Pep4]

most of these are good...my wife is awesome when it comes to hunting...never a complaint when i go everyday in pa, then road trips to ohio, ny and vt and buying 'stuff'...but probably the most used one is when i spend a ton of time and money on food plots..."oh gotta feed the deer again!"

[Stickbowcrafter]

My wife doesn't complain much. Amazing how understanding she is. Over the years I've gotten into just about everything involving hunting, including making a career out of it for a few years and buying two farms specifically just for deer hunting. She's been patient through it all. I try to be the best husband and father in return and not take advantage of their generosity and it seems to have worked for the last 15 years. She does enjoy joking and ribbing me about it on a regular basis though.

[tangyhunter]

I have to say I'm pretty lucky. My wife and I eat every bit of the deer I get so she doesn't mind it too much. If I have to pick one thing she complains about is just making sure I my tree harnesses are still good and not worn out. I guess that's the one thing she tell me to buy new every year!
