[QUOTE="Legionnaire, post: 1906568, member: 101897"] It's never too late to start hunting. It might be too late to go this year without a major marital conflict. What about planning to go next year and using the time between now and then to soften her up? Talk about it regularly. Read magazines. Show her pictures of the great outdoors. Let her see how much you really want to do this. She loves you; she'll come around. Another idea might be to suggest going this year but with a camera rather than a rifle. Suggest you want to accompany a friend and document his hunt. That could get you "out there" and give you an opportunity to learn without the "stigma" (in her eyes) of hunting. It also sets a precedent of going out during hunting season. I've been blessed to be married to the daughter of the man who taught me to hunt. My wife bought me my first firearm so I could hunt with her dad. I know life is short and you want to go "right now." But I'd give up hunting in a heartbeat rather than jeopardize my relationship to my wife of 37 years. [/QUOTE]
