Hunting Situation #3

[musketman]

Here's a good one...

You and your wife are out hunting deer and she bags a bigger buck than you with your own flintlock that you let her use...

Do you harp on her until she swaps tags with your deer or congratulate her on out hunting you?

Well as much as i want to say rag on her till she gives you the deer to tag, i have to say congratulate her for the deer. Ya should consider yourself lucky to have a wife that will hunt with you.

Let her drag it as far as she can, and then (after those 20 yards) drag it the rest of the way without comment beyond: "Here, honey, let me."

She'll get the picture. (Worked for me :. And it certainly was a beautiful 6-point.

She "got soft" and stays at home now. Something about "No place to pee in the woods." ?? Go figure ??

Well, if it wuz my wife...she'd be the one doing the "raggin", if raggin is to be done. She'd also be the one to p... me off to the point where I'd go get a bigger one...with me bare hands, just to shut her up!
Tough situation, at best.

In my case it's actually a bit different. The old gal has been beating the woods with me for better than 46 years now, and we have downed a few animals in that time. Sometimes I got the big Buck, sometimes she gets the big Buck. She seldom asks if I remember back when....... I hate to try to out-do this gal, and when I sometimes do it is very subtle. Perhaps she's the same with me, but danged if I'm going to ask! I enjoy her company, but she won't buy off on doing all the cookin.
So, in situation #3, I don't think I would say a damn word, other than "Good shot Mom", and just get on with the business at hand.

Same as usual- gut it, drag it out and go home. Why do you think I hunt with her? Second best way to make meat! :crackup:

By all means I congratualte her.

My wife and I used to hunt deer together quite often before the kids came along. Some years we both got deer and other times only one of us did. Best year was when we hunted from the same tree stand and I got to watch her take a large 8point with one shot. Never did get my deer that year but her deer is mounted above the sofa. eace:

Take yer lumps! It's your own fault for taking a female to the woods with you!!!What were you thinking!!!! :youcrazy:

Thanks again Musketman;

Me, myself, here's what I would do.

I'd pray. First I'd give God thanks for the harvest that he has allowed me to take. (Actually, I always do this.) Second, I'd give God thanks for a wife that would share the passion of the hunt with me.

Those who actually do have such a wife are indeed blessed.

I'm blessed with my wife, but in other ways than sharing the hunt. She only "hunts" at major department stores.... bargains that is!

Regards,

Jerry.
