seek100plus Report post Posted June 8, 2017 So , after so many years , I finally scored to find a girlfriend to hunt with me . I have had hunting buddies come and go . Now my hunting buddy is my girlfriend , she doesn't make excuses to not scout or share the expense of hunting trips . She cooks and cleans her mess up and usually gets me a beer in camp when I'm to tired to get out of my chair around fire . With that said , other issues come up . Now she wants Swarovski binoculars , best hunting camo , best hunting boots , better tripod , best backpack to hold all items for trophy pictures . Really ! I have begged and put on my best power talk why I need to upgrade my stuff after 5 years . But honey !!! You can use my old Vortex binos , backpack and tripod . That conversation lasted 2 minutes . So now on to hunting together , she will glass from sun up to sun set . She will look over at me , taking a nap and say you can't see animals with your eyes closed . She will set the alarm clock for her hour before to get up and put makeup on , fix her hair in baseball cap , pick out her camo for the day , turn on every light in the tent . My alarm clock finally goes off and I love my snooze button and I hear Cmon baby we have to go !!!! I can go on and on about hunting with my better half . I have learned through the years , how to make hunting together work . We put in for separate tags now , she picks her unit and what she wants to hunt . If she gets drawn , I give her 100% and the same for me if I get drawn . She got drawn bull elk this year , so game on this year . Separate tags , has really made hunting together as a couple now a great time and have fun doing it together . I would like to learn , how others have made hunting together work . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzPlumber Report post Posted June 8, 2017 Been my experience they are better at finding game. Their detailed oriented eyesight and our short attention span give them a huge edge when glassing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DUG Report post Posted June 8, 2017 Just make sure she can see through the scope on her rifle. My wife and I stood and argued about why she couldn't see through the scope with elk running all around us. That was about 25 years ago. Also, sounds like you have a keeper!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted June 8, 2017 When mine gets in from repaving the driveway I'll ask her how hunting for us is!!! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzDiamondHeat Report post Posted June 8, 2017 My wife is not a hunter, but tolerates going hunting with me. The best advice I was ever given was to buy her the best of whatever she wants, especially clothes. If she is uncomfortable, YOUR life will suck. My wife has better hunting clothes than I do. Better boots. Better gun. If nothing else I can "guilt" her into it by reminding her how much we spent on her to give her "the best"...lol Oh, and when she is "done" for the day...BE done. Or again, YOUR life will suck. I look at it as basically hunting with a "child". Lots of patience and the understanding that we are spending time together in the outdoors while pretending to hunt. If I want her with me, I am the one that has to adapt to the circumstances. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jazz Report post Posted June 8, 2017 Wifey leads the way sometimes. She's all about it. Every time I go she tries to take the time off so we can pull it off together. It's not the same without her there on those times that she can't attend. (And she's an awesome bowhunter- actually stalked within 20 feet of a coues) MUCH better than I could have done!
