I go on a nice vacation every summer and he gives me money to enjoy myself!" grin She is absolutely right!! She gives me NO line of crap at all when I get going for one of my hairbrained expeditions to God knows where. grin I figger I have a VERY fair trade!!!! grin

You are correct and I am proud to have a wife who allows me the freedom to do the things I do, like you. My wife has always been very supportive of my hunting and freely gives me the latitude to go.
She also knows when to take her halo off... blush

As someone astutely mentioned in the recent divorce thread, it's all about sharing your time, affection, money and sex. When you get selfish with one, bad juju is in store. It's all about the give and take.

Congrats on a good one, ET!

Yep. We do pretty much the same thing, although it is nice to go one a vacation WITH the spouse once in a while. As long as you don't make a habit of it. wink

I joke as much as most about the "ball and chain", etc., but I have it pretty good too!

I mentioned to my wife the other day that I would like to do an African Safari - she said "You should, you deserve it!" Of course, she may not understand the all-in cost (including the mounts afterwards...)...

And I don't hide how many guns I have or how much I spend, hell she has the combination to my safe.

Yes you do. And both you and your wife are grateful for this trade. Much better then another divorce thread.

Well, my wife won't go hunting with me (congrats to yours on the moose), but she does know I like, to quote her, "bullets and sharp things" for Christmas and birthday gifts (I'm easy to shop for?). And finances allowing, I get to go down to AZ to hunt at least once a year.

She gets to take the whippets to agility, lure coursing, and obedience events.

I'll take that trade any day (and besides when I'm there I get to see the dogs work too)

Glad to hear "happy stories" here on the 'fire also.

At the gun store.
