haha, jamie i hear ya, but i am married and have a daughter.  the greatest thing here is, i have been able to take my wife out hunting with me many times, and she truely enjoys it.  she shot her first coyote while she was 5 months pregnant with my daughter.  last year she shot a nice 5 point buck, and watching her jump aup and down and uhg me, then proceed to gut it all by herself was perhaps one of the most rewrding experiences of my hunting life.  the trick is, you just have to find the right wife.  no doubt, there is alway at least one fight during sseason about how much i am not around, but she always comes arounsd to realize that is who i am, and she knew it when she married me.  i actually had us plan our wedding out of season so i would never be stuck at home celebrating our anniversary instead of hunting ;D.  besides my first harvest wiht my own bow and stone points, which i hope is this year, my daughters first hunts will be the next biggest hunt of my life.

one time my wife and i were squerril hunting with .22's. and one was in a tree staright up.  she shot and it came tumblinig down with a big hole in it's head.  i walked over to it, and said""you shot it in ther head!"  she saids"i know."  for the rest of the day ever squerril she shot had a hole in it's head.  i think she killed 5 that day.  ya just can't beat that :o

jamie:
thats awesome. . i started taken my kids huntin last year . first time i take my daughter out we pull up and the deer were running everywhere cause we showed up late. thought it was over. we go walking in and a doe runs right up to us and stops. my daughter yells shoot it daddy. it stood there 20yrds away,  let me pull out an arra , talk to my daughter and draw back and stick it. died within 40 yards. i kept having to explain to my daughter that that wasnt hunting. that was just a freak gift .  :)

cowboy:

haha, that's great.  i think i saw that deer's siblings yesterday.  i wasa out trying to whack a red squerril in the pines, and two deer busted me at thirty yards, then they let me get to about 18 before they spooked.   another month and a half sure would like to see those two does again ;D

I was having a conversation with a guy at work this week, and the discussion came around to hunting. He said he had been a couple of times, but got tired of sitting being bored, and freezing his tail off. He's a big sports fan...baseball, football, etc. Nothing wrong with that, just not for me. I can never take part in those conversations about games and teams because it just doesn't interest me. Makes me kind of an outsider to many folks, but I don't care.

I remember sitting in a stand one evening many years ago when we were getting a rare snow during bow season. The feeling of quiet solitude during that evening resulted in my staying in the stand well past dark just because I hated to leave. The last hour or so of my stay didn't involve hunting, but just enjoying the woods. ;D
