Overspined, my inlaws fell the same way about me. They think I am some kind of backwoods crazed mountian man. When we went to Colorado a few weeks back my wifes mom told my wife to be careful. She said that there were people being attacked on hiking trails around there. She heard my father-in-law say in the background, "If they attack Nathan, they will with that they would have picked someone else". Even if we are a "little different" I think it is a good kind of different.
As for my wife, I have taken her hunting 3 ro 4 times in the last 2 years. She missed one and killed one. I knew that she was hooked when she said,"I could hear my hear beat in my ears". She also has taken to archery skills like a duck to water.
