Plate tectonics?  Is that the one that says the lid will blow off the Yellowstine caldera taking no out everything for 500 miles around? -C- >:D (lol)!

Don't use the feather burner in the house without a very strong exhaust fan!!!

That seems to be a recurring theme, here...

Yep, and don't use a good pot to boil the end of your powder horn project either...  ::)

You guys are missing some golden opportunities to explain why you really need a man cave. If you keep bringing enough stinky stuff in the house eventually your wife will see why it's a absolute necessity. Either that or she'll kick you out of the house. Fortunately for me I got the man cave.

Oh and if you keep bringing enough stinky stuff in your man cave you won't have your wife trying to claim it either

I'm working that angle pretty well.  Already my wife questions very little and tries to pretend to see less.  It has to be done in slow increments, very patiently, like boiling a frog.  Too much, too soon and she'll throw all the aninal parts out in the yard.  She's fully committed to me building my man cave as a shed next to the house once we replace these old drafty single pane windows on the house. 

That being said, there are lines drawn and apparently bringing a freah skunk hide in to the house is off limits  ;D

Yeah, Mrs. Badger is getting tired of weird smells and wood shavings on the floor of the guest room, as well as listening to me practice (I play the penny whistle, among other things, and sometimes certain members of my family hint that the house might not be big enough for that), so a garage/work shed/music studio is being discussed.

But here's the real question, for BJ or any of our other resident marriage experts:  How does one go about convincing one's wife that hunting along in grizzly country is not only a perfectly reasonable idea, but completely necessary for one's mental health?

Now your going where I'm going. That's exactly the slow encrimental method I used. Be careful though. Soon you might find she actually likes some of your dead animal parts and decides she wants to keep them for her space. Once that happens you'll never get them back.  Best not to argue and just to get some more.

Well fortunately or unfortunately whichever way you want to look at it. I don't have anything around here that wants to eat me except mosquitoes.

Hard to say. I think at times she would probably encourage me to go out and hunt with the grizzlies.

Don't use the kitchen stove to boil a deer skull for a European mount or the oven for heat treating rock.

What's wrong with these two?  I've not done either so I may need to know the cons before attempting.

I don't know about heating rock, but with deer head, it's the smell.  Cooking deer heads smell pretty funky, and in the several hours required to get all the flesh off, it permeates the entire house.  I don't mind the smell too much, but after a while it even gets to be too much for me.  I do mine outside on the coleman stove.

WB, assure your wife your life insurance is up to date. She'll probably help you pack.  ;D

It's usually worth at least what you paid for it.

No buyer's remorse, and no need to send it back if it proves defective~
