If I Was A Better Hunter’s Wife
If I was a better Hunter’s Wife I would:
- Make all his meals and freeze them for his 2 week hunting trip. (I did go with him to get his groceries.)
- Get the flannel sheets he asked for. (I can’t bring myself to purchase something that will not only make him sweat all night but shock the heck out of his a$$ from the static.)
- Rake the leaves in the yard while he is gone. (First of all I am not allowed to cut grass. He is “The Grumby Neighbor Guy” who’s grass the neighbor kids have to tell their friends “Oh my god, you better get off his grass!” So to clean up leaves you call his friend who owns a landscaping business.)
- Find interest in his hunting stories. (Ok, I am really working on that one seeing I blog about it.
) - Ask hunting questions. (I will have to readup on that one.)
- Show enormous concern when he missed the biggest buck of his life. (This actually happened recently with his bow. I will never hear the end of that one.)
- And last, when driving in the car with him, help him scan open land for deer. (I actually secretly do this even when I am alone.)
Today is opening shotgun season in Indiana and other states. Good Luck Hunter’s and be SAFE. For us wives, go get a massage, manicure, pedicure or call a friend for lunch.

I’ll second what you said, Jody. Everyone be safe.
I also had to laugh about the secretly scanning for deer. I do that too.

Jody, there is only one cure for this: You must pick up a gun! It’ll take care of everything. Except that part about cooking and freezing two week’s worth of food for him. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Kristine, I never use to scan for deer.
NorCal, I have picked up a gun before. My Dad took me to a gun range once.
