I think that its cool that your wives hunt and shoot with you. I have a great wife myself, but she doesn't shoot or hunt.  I really don't mind that at all, because I always looked at that as "my time".  we do everything else together, and she gives me the freedom to buy anything I'd want, or hunt anytime that I want. SHE EVEN AGREED TO GET MARRIED ON MARCH 7th!!!.....Here in NY, small game season ends Feb. 28th, the ice is usually too thin to ice fish on then, and Striped Bass season doesn't open till the 16th!

My wife always approved of my hunting , but never took a part in it, until last year.  She said that she wanted to go deer hunting, I took her and she saw several does.  She got hooked.  Killed her first deer this year adn loved it.  She told me that she was suprised she hit it because her heart was beating so hard she could feel it in her ears and she was shaking so badly that she could barely aim.
Think she will make it a habbit? Does a one legged duck swim in a circle?

lpcjon2- no,she does not have a sister. Sorry Buddy.
cacciatore- I hear what you're saying. My first wife was like that. Always had to be what she was into and sometimes she wasn't even willing to have me involved in that. I do stuff with my wife that she likes too (golf, concerts, etc.) cuz it's gotta be give and take and it's no fun when your always the one giving.
NDTerminator- This is a second marriage for both of us and I hope we each learned something from the first one. It won't be "wedded bliss" all the time, I know. I guess I'm just a bit excited cuz it's so different than the first one.
SeanB - She agreed to get married then cuz she knew you would have a better chance of remembering your anniversary with nothing else going on. Lol. She's no dummy. Mine did the same!

Sheepshooter - if you shoot a bow half as good as you shoot a photograph, you are one dangerous dude.  Absolutely great photos!

My mom started hunting at age 50.  Only year she's missed since then was after surgery and she's killed 3 deer in the last two years.

She's 88.

I started tinkering in Trad gear about 5 yrs. ago....
A year and a 1/2 later I was Trad hunting exclusively....
A year later, my wife wanted a bow, so I got her a used Bear kodiak...
then last year I start tinkering with making bows...
Guess what? Then she wants a bow I made for her:

hayslope- Thanks for the kind words. I can only take credit for some of those pictures, my wife took some as well. We just got the camera so we are still learning. It helps to have beautiful scenery and willing critters to photograph. We are truly blessed to live where we do.

I read somewhere that we men like when our women do things with us that we like to do. Looks like alot of our ladies have figured that out!   :)

We got married in September (will be 38 years), and went moose hunting for our honeymoon! She missed a few years when the kids were young but we're still moose hunting together.
May your next adventure lighten your heart, test your spirit, and nourish your soul.

Everyone,
 Yes! Randy has found a rare pearl. She is learning a lot about archery, the outdoors and everything that goes along with our life style.

 Just tonight, she was talking about coming to our DART league shoots without Randy if he can't make it. That, speaks volume.
As for the pictures,well! She took most of them. You see Randy got a little thing with cameras. I think it is call bad carma....  But jokes aside they live in a great region and take full advantage of it. The best of all is that, the kids are absorbing it all in and they love it. They are a great familly and hopefully friends for life. I look forward to spend more time outdoors with them all. I wish them the best.

Good for you.....My wife don't hunt or shoot but she does everything else with me, snowshoes, hike, travels by motorcycle, goes fishing, bicycles and kayaks. I'm very lucky just like you. Oh yea....nice photos!!!

Almost 24 yrs of marriage here, my wife TOLERATES what I do. She more or less gave me the handle TooManyHobbies. It's too cold to hunt, to uncomfortable to ride (Harley), too this, too that. Oh, well, I love her anyway.
