[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 1906623, member: 94154"] Never too late. [USER=109764]@James B.[/USER] , reading between the lines, you hesitated to tell her because you knew her prejudice against hunters, and accurately predicted how she would respond. Let me guess, her male family members were pieces of work? Kind of late in your game, but good on ya for bringing it up. It saddens me to read that, after 35+ years, she still doesn't understand you. Have you hidden yourself that long? Advice: [LIST=1] [*]Purchase the license and tags, man! [*]Open the dialog with your wife. Try to understand and accommodate her feelings without sacrificing yourself or manhood in the process. [*]Go hunting, at a minimum to enjoy camaraderie and commune with God. [*]The remainder of the details is the small stuff. don't sweat it. No mess or deer carcass in the house, no biggie. Drop your kill off at a recommended shop. Put wrapped cuts in the freezer for yourself. [*]When you return home, be sure to remove your hunting boots before you enter into the house. [/LIST] PS: when you go, turn your phone off. She may have a "crisis" while you are out hunting. To a larger extent, this is about attention and control. I've witnessed it in others, and experienced it in my first marriage. Best of luck. You are fortunate to have coworkers who invite you to go hunting. [/QUOTE]
