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!
