[QUOTE="chilli42, post: 1906616, member: 108889"] I am now 65. I was in exactly your position when I retired at 57. My wife’s reaction was the same ... even the same excuses as your wife. My only response to her was simply that the runway ahead is now very short. That I need to do those things on my bucket list before it’s too late. My wife still not OK with my hunting .:. fair enough she is entitled to her opinion, she is not going to change it to make me happy. We don’t agree on everything but that does not mean we don’t have a good marriage. I hunt and love it. Have met all kinds of new people through hunting. The range time gives me something new and interesting to do. Getting fit to hunt is healthy. After 35 years you have earned the right to determine how you want to spend your time ... it’s your life, she will get over it. Don’t expect her to agree with you, she won’t. Just get out and do what you enjoy. The one Concession I made to my wife was the promise to take the right safety measures (not hunting alone etc). [/QUOTE]
