Janet, this is Pavan's wife Lori. Before we were married, 42 years and counting, I had never so much as shot a BB gun. At first getting talked into bowhunting and paddling canoes seemed a bit daunting and at times frightening. It also seemed very complicated, who knew that there was so much to know about fishing and paddling canoes and shooting bows. Over time being your husbands best hunting and fishing buddy is a good thing, as Martha Stewart would put it. I have shot more deer in the last four years than my husband, and much to his grief, have caught more lake trout than he has. But the razzing is all in fun. Admittedly, the monsters that he is after and the deer that I shoot are not the same, but I am royally kicking his butt on the lake trout.
