[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 1906810, member: 17889"] Your wife brought up some interesting points you should consider with her. Her "You are not going to do this" would be really, really concerning to me. Is she supporting your happiness, or her happiness, or YOUR together happiness? Both of your "happys" should not be mutually exclusive. But, then, you are much more likely to be shot on the streets of your town than in the woods. . You are not hunting in your house....the "mess" won't be there. You aren't asking her to eat deer. Maybe your bad back is because you haven't gotten enough activity out in nature....or she's spent 35+ years stomping on it. You are not her dad or uncles...you are the man she fell in love with and built a, hopefully worthwhile, life with. (Does she have male role issues???) You may have not "grown up this way", but it's never to late to have a happy childhood. (I'm aggressively still perfecting mine at 71.) And, the next fall you will be 61, then, 62, and sooner than you can blink an eye....your years will be finished.....money is a renewable resource....heartbeats are finite. You've got a lot of years to make up for. Life is short; we are temporary tourists passing through this world. Hunting is definitely worth pursuing at any age, and so much more precious with age. It's not about merely harvesting an animal. It's about fair chase and respecting the wildlife God has bestowed upon this land. for our enjoyment......admiration and consumption. Does she eat meat? (I may not want that answer.) There's no fair chase there. They call them slaughter houses for a reason. It's about being with friends, sharing, and building strong bonds; making lasting experiences........kinda like a marriage relationship. It's about being out in this beautiful world which God gave us to enjoy and being stewards; it's about self discipline and testing one's self; learning new skills and improving competencies and confidence, and about mentoring others. It's about developing new traditions and preserving old ones; and, even, about testing one's self against God's creatures and the elements. and, very importantly, it's about making the choices you want to, and doing what you chose to do with your heartbeats. And, probably most importantly, it's about a mate being supportive and wanting the other mate to be happy. There may be more crucial questions that need to be explored therein beyond merely hunting. I have the name of a good Family Law attorney, should all reason fail. Hope to see you at the Conservation Commission deer check station.
