Wife Season

[Hogwild2004]

I’ve made it a point to thank my wife and kids for “tolerating my seasonal insanity,” especially since I walked away with no meat after having four deer within 10 yds of my stand this season. Wife season includes anniversary, V Day, and a new “take out” date night after kids are down... hoping for a meat-filled 2021-2022!

I like to scout for new wife's a little later into the spring/summer so u can get a better look at the the undercarriage, alignment, and rear end without the added bulk of insulation

Yeah my wife has her claws dug into me for home projects I neglected from Oct 1st until Jan 1st.

Good for you. I have been neglecting since August.... Lol.

This was the first year my wife said she would go hunting with me. I put it off and told her we would go on a day I gun hunt so we can sit on the ground and hunt, since I have no way to get her in a tree. Well that day never came and she said she was gonna be bored at the house all day today so I invited her along. She’s not into hunting but she loves hanging out with me so I’m glad she came a long. We canoed in about 1.5 mile and had a short walk to a spot . You could barely call it hunting but we are out here doing the thing! There is a few days left in the deer season but let’s face it it’s practically Wife Season. Gonna surprise her with some wine and flowers this afternoon to thank her for being so cool the hunting season. Weve come a long way since two deer seasons ago when she use to get upset that I was always hunting.

Heading out to chase the perch as I type!

Well boys and girls, the perch bite was on fire today. Hauled four 5-gallon pails worth of the tasty little buggers off the ice over a 10-hour day. It was almost like work!

Wife season will have to wait a while. Good thing my better half loves fish tacos!

My father told me over 40 years ago:
"Son you will NEVER know a woman until you marry her, then its to late. Never have truer words been spoken.

TODAY marriage is strictly for men who have some inexplicably foolish desire to enter into a state enforced contractually binding agreement that for its entirety they stand a 55-60% chance of loosing 60% of all their assets, money and children
They call it getting divorce-raped for a reason.

In my home state of Indiana we have no fault divorce. Your wife as long as she doesn't GET CAUGHT by police seriously endanger your children or commit a felony she can otherwise literally do anything else she pleases brake every rule sacred to marriage then file for divorce and come out on top.

The vast majority of SUCCESSFUL men realize much to late by signing a matrimonial contract AKA marriage license they have in fact willingly concented and contractually given the state essentially total control of all thier assets and monies and completely relinquished all of the very few parental rights men have and the state under the threat of arrest and imprisonment will mandate a man meet all his obligations of marriage and or divorce while never imposing the same on the wife or ex wife.

I'm still married but literally 60% of my friends are divorced and every last one got financially srewed and the ones within ten years of retirement got financially devastated by thier ex-wives.

I beg any man with sons who are still single spend a few $$$ rent the documentary titled:
"Divorce-Courp" for your sons to watch.
It details in great length the 50 BILLION with a B dollar a year industry divorce is in America today and how horribly prejudice family court is against men and especially fathers.
Once your wife files for divorce and they do in 70-75% of all divorces, unless she has a documented history of criminal child abuse offenses or has been diagnosed with serious debilitating mental illness husbands especially fathers don't stand a chance in divorce court.

For today's women marriage has de-evolved into nothing more than a no risk fully funded retirement plan.

My rather harsh and negative views on marriage aren't matters of opinion but based entirely on the law governing divorce and first hand witnessing what so many of my friends went through at the hands of their merciless soon to be ex-wives.

Bottom line is today for at least 55% of successful men who get married it will end up being one of if not the WORST most deeply REGETTED decisions of thier entire lives

I must be part of the 45%. 39 years together and still going strong. Soul mates, fantastic life.

Wow! Bitter much? @DMTJAGER . My state is a 50/50 state but I just celebrated 34 fantastic years of marriage and 40 glorious years together. We are up to 3 grand children now and are enjoying life now more than ever. I can also say that I have been through some pretty damn rough times in my life that I don't know how it would of turned out if I hadn't had my rock/wife by my side.

Unfortunately DMTJAGER's post is spot on. My first wift divorce-raped me financially. But, I still married again. Most hunter, myself included, get caught up in the excitement of the hunt and something forget about what really matters. I created "wife Season" for this very reason. At the end of the season we inspect and maintain the gear. Don't forget the wife. A proper inspection and maintenance of your significant other will keep you in the woods longer next season.

Yea I don’t appreciate your post at all. We have a nice wholesome thread going where guys who hunt a lot and love their wives are showing their appreciation and you come around with some negative crap about divorce and how marriage is antiquated and all men are screwed.

I think his post is on topic GCR003. He is spot on with the consequences of a marriage gone wrong.

Fair enough. He said his peace and I said mine.

 

[BigAl]

Reality.......both men and women have trouble understanding the sacrifices for a great marriage. Love this thread cause it's a great reminder to think of our wives. Marriage really isn't 50/50.....or 50%of the time you're not trying to hard. I have never put my spouse ahead of me very often that I wasn't blessed in return. This life will never be perfect but showing our spouses who is most important will ultimately align our relationships in a way that we can't realize until we do it. My experience is.....she doesn't see any hobbies as competition now. Yes I agree....its officially wifey season.....especially Valentine's day. Put the work into this season and you might be surprised how "successful" you might be!

Or you can just find a woman like my wife is to begin with. She encourages me to go hunting whenever I can and has more confidence in me than I do. Wait a minute..... Maybe she just wants me out of her hair! Hmmmm?

Nothing's better when it's good, and nothing's worse when it goes wrong.

That said, it's not 50/50..... It's 100/100 (I learned that from my wife, lol) Both parties have to be all-in for a marriage to work. And part of that is wife season....

 

[sweats]

As I believe someone said previously, I think it's important for both spouses to have independent hobbies and set the expectation that you don't have to do everything together. If you're taking equitable turns throughout the year looking after the house, kids, etc. while the other half is out doing something fun it shouldn't be an issue when the shoe is on the other foot.

This is an awesome thread (even though some bitter posts tried to take it off track). Good on you for reminding us that we need wife season. I have agreed to get a third rescue dog (im not a dog person but rescues are important to the wife) for my wife and we are taking an 8 hour round trip to pick up the new pup. I'd say that's my first "kill" of wife season. Lets hope I stay consistent for the remainder!

"first kill" of the season. Lol
Wonder if Allegany Tom is going to post his latest DIY wife season mod. Congrats on 39 years of marriage bud!

Pull up your pants......there isn’t one off topic post here.....nor bitter. It’s a fact of life and as honest as you can be. As in anything, if you do not take care of it, you lose it. Marriage included. And sometimes you can bust your ass to make it work and it still doesn’t. The system is totally against the man. I’m living it.

Thanks Todd.
My latest wife season project is planning some summer adventures. It's another thing that I'm blessed with. My wife is a great canoe partner. She is happy paddling my fishing ass all around the river..."honey, paddle me over there, so I can cast to that eddy". "Honey I got a snag, we gotta paddle back up current to free it...that lure cost me almost $4!"
She's not afraid to pee in the weeds or sleep in a tiny tent. Zero complaints from her unless our freezer is getting low on venison and then she strongly urges me to go hunting.
She has no problem with me boiling euro skulls on the stove. My house has heads, skulls, sheds, and a variety of other weird stuff all over and she likes it.
Her idea of a beach vacation is backpack camping on the rugged Oregon coast. No crowded Florida beach for her (or me).

So my current project for the wife is planning a float trip on the West Branch Susquehanna. Life is good.
