In-Laws out of control!

[Magwa45]

it looks like I am going to spend about a week in eastern San Diego County this summer on vacation, really against my will! Overbearing in-laws have got the wife insisting on spending time there. Not my idea of a good time. Any bowhunters in San Diego know how I can get away for a 3d shoot or maybe some coyote hunting? We are talking about the 2nd or 3rd week of August near Julian, CA. Help guys, this is going to be bad.

[fido dog]

Julian is awesome!! If you want to trade places....let me know. My old stomping grounds.... =0)

Pull up Bear state archers, they have 3d at Lake Henshaw, mostly compound but some trad.

[Ray Hammond]

Beachbowhunter is from there maybe he canhelp

Don,

I graduated from Julian HS in 1966 and worked summers at Lake Henshaw. It's a beautiful area in spite of in-laws.

Suck it up, and quit whining. Give the wife her week.. It'll pay in the long run.

[KentuckyTJ]

Yeah tell her its gonna cost her a new bow.

That's how I roll.    

[Mudd]

Earl E., Thank you for being a true friend to Magwa45 and telling him the truth!

We need folks like you who will tell us the truth and not just what we want to hear.

Plus it's really good advice! It can make a positive difference in your life, even the hunting portion.

IMHO
God bless,Mudd

Trials and tribulations of In-Laws

[Froggy]

Gotta go with Earl on this one..... give and take bro !!!

It could be much worse, like in October or November.

Good one TJ

I feel your pain.  There are some guys who hunt hogs down there look into a trip.  Plus there should be miles of stump shooting ( read dead cactus ) within driving distance.  I find that spending some time ( holidays ). Spend some time with the relatives and some away doing what you love.  It is a good comprimise and that is what being in a family is all about.

[Tater 2]

I'm with Earl E. and Mudd on this one it will pay dividends in the future. If you give it a chance with a positive attitude it might not be so bad.

[bolong]

I'm with Earl, Mudd and Tater.

[kbetts]

I'm going with what TJ said.  And the fact its not in the fall.

[missagain]

Earl and ED hit the door bell on this one. After 34 years of marrage i look back and maybe thing might be alittle differant now if I had of shared my vacation with my wife and kids and gave the Inlaws the respect the deserved, have a great week.

Good advice from everyone!  My sister inlaw and her family live in San Diego.  My inlaws only live a couple ours from us in Kansas.  A couple of times the inlaws have paid for all of us to flyout and visit.

I always look forward to my one day of get away on the trip where the men all go on one of the big deep sea fishing boats.  Not to expensive and always catch some fish.  All tackle and bait provided.  Seems like it might have been in the 60 to 80 dollar range for a half day of fishing.
