Sounds like some great tips. It just doesn’t seem fair that the women are cleaning while the guys are hunting. But some good suggestions anyway:):):)

I like getting my house organized and clean when my hunter is away. I can get it done much faster.

I ran these ideas past The Wife and I will now report her response verbatim: “What! Are you nuts? Those are all on your honey-do list…I’m going to the mall and getting a massage.” I can now say with certainty that I am perfectly clear on how she feels about this.

How about a list of things for the hunter to do when he comes back from hunting empty handed and realizes he has to come back to the reality of life? That’s where I’m at - begrudgingly.

Good ideas. I think this is a much more positive way to look at hunting season.

I think this is a good time to start the Christmas cards too. Get it done before the hunting may or may not take your attention at that time of year.
Your list sounds very productive.

OK - have lunch with friends. When??

Where is the “secretly learn to hunt” suggestion. That way you could surprise your hunter by offering to go the next time they hit the woods?
