Mine's pretty soft hearted, but would not hesitate to shoot pigs...  She does shoot very well! She has her own 1911 .45, AR15, .22 rifle and a couple of .22 pistols, and 870 shotgun. Don't cross her!  Gotta love a woman that knows how to shoot! She's got her CCW too...  Pretty proud I've got her in my life! ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/tgz2d25.jpg) Alright guys... Show yours!

She looks like a Good one Barry. I drag my wife out fishing some, and she catches more than I do.

She used to, but likes to have grandkids to herself when I’m gone.
She shoots a 243 really well.

My wife is excellent at shooting a rifle when she sets her mind to it. She did go hunting with me in the very early days, but rarely - maybe never - now. Suppose that was one factor leading to my long-term solo hunting habit.

Yeah. Every year she’s with me. Killed a couple while I was working too, although she don’t drag as good as me. This is backwards from the Indians. She kills and I usually clean em! All summer she’s been having trouble with her legs and feet, so what’s gonna happen next week I’m not sure. 7mm

Mine insisted we get CCLs. Comes from East Tx stock. Folks teach 'em about firearms early.

Mine does not hunt, or shoot long guns, but she has a Kimber 380, a 22 revolver, a Ruger SR22 and her Permit to Carry.
We do a lot of handgun shooting in the summer, so much so that casting and handloading for that 380 keeps me busy in the winter.

Pamela has been a better shot than I, especially on our 2018 safari (where I was still dealing with heart meds post-surgery.)

Mine shoots but doesn't hunt. When I met her she was mildly anti-gun. She was held up at gun point before we met. Strongly pro-gun now.

Mine has hunted but hasn't killed anything. She can do it all. Gut, skin and butcher. Doesn't like the way I clean fish so guess what? She is a natural shot with a rifle, pistol and shotgun but hasn't shot in a probably a year. She just picks it up and hits x's. The only reason she doesn't out shoot me is she gets tired before me.

Mine loves breaking clay, carries her own Single Six around when working outside here, eats anything I bring home, just doesn't like doing the killin'.

Congratulations, there’s nothing like having a spouse that enjoys hunting and sharing the experience with you!
Yep, she’s done quite a bit.....but, age has slowed us a little. Mine has done pretty well, 2 moose, 2 bear, 2 Pronghorns very near 17”, a nice Bighorn Sheep, 2 decent 6x6 elk, and too many deer, smaller elk, and smaller Pronghorns to count! From her beginnings with a borrowed .243 Win. and .264 WM, to her own .270 Win and .338WM.....she has a lot of field time! memtb

My wife has no interest in hunting or shooting, and that’s okay with me. She does, however, think there’s something wrong with men who don’t like to. For that matter, she thinks there’s something wrong with a man who doesn’t have a knife in his pocket.

My wife loves to hunt antelope, mostly because it's not an early start kind of hunt and the weather is usually mild. Deer not as much. A couple 4 am wake up calls and it's all over for the first spike that pops up. Pretty good packer though.

Nope, zero, She grew up raising hogs and farming tobacco. Can tell you all about processing hogs on a picnic table, cracklins, lard stands, hams. Thinks hunting and fishing totally stupid. (She had an uncle that was deadbeat no working drunk, that sat on the riverbank and fished till he passed out) That stereotype persists in the family. If I say I'm going fishing, she says ok Roger Dodger, dont crash in a ditch.  She will help me drag a buck out if I've got no one else. Bitches about the smell of the deer jerky when I make it. lol Fine with me, I don't need another micro management aspect on my 'me time'. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/j2dnD2Xt/image.jpg)
