My wife made me a deal
« on: January 22, 2015, 08:41:00 AM »
After reading longbow fanatics post about making a deal with his wife, I thought I should share mine deal as well.

I have been wanting to hunt bear with Stickflingers for a few years and when an opening came up this year I jumped at the chance, after talking with my wife.

After the arrangements were made, my wife said " you know, just because you are going bear hunting this spring does not mean that I don't want you to go elk hunting with Matt (our son) in September.  I think it is important for you to do stuff with him, if he wants to."

Man, I love that woman!

Hmmm? Pretty tough deal to accept! That's quite the woman you have there...

Now lets hope we can see a bear...

Sorry Jt,

We have invested 42 years in this deal, one of the top two best things that ever came into my life.  I would hate to start over now. I have been blessed greatly;  a great son who still wants go out and hunt with the old man, and a wife that likes to see us enjoying this passion.

Thanks boys.
Ryan,  No pressure, but I have great expectations.  All part of the joy, right?

That's right Gary, just because you're going bear hunting doesn't mean you can skip elk hunting!  I would say you are very blessed to have a wonderful family.  Best of luck on all of your hunts.

P.s.  Hunting with Stickflingers you should have plenty of opportunities to quote Marge Gunderson,  I'd like to hunt with them myself one of these days.

you got a good one there! Luckily, my wife knows that my hunting/fishing hobbies are what relieves my stress...lets just say after she deals with me all winter shes ready for me to get in the woods or on the river in the spring!

My wife tells me-"you ought to, you deserve it".  I treat her like the princess she is to our family and she makes sure i have freedom for my hobby.  I love my wife
