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!
