Helping a pregnant lady kill an elk…

[Ucsdryder]

Did I pull on any heart strings? But seriously, my wife is preggers, due in January and has a rifle bull tag in the gunnison area. Seeing that it’s pushing a decade to draw this tag, if someone is willing to help her with some intel, please shoot me a PM. She works out 6 days a week and is in great shape considering. I won’t list the unit out of respect for others.

No help on the elk, but a dude saying the word preggers makes me cringe. Carry on.

At least he didn't say "we're" preggers.

 

[Geewhiz]

I prefer the term 'pregs".

You guys are all super helpful!!!! Hahahaha


“We’re” not preggers. I told her my job was done with she got pregnant!

Good thing she isn't due during hunting season!

I’m not dumb.

My timing could have been slightly better. March baby would have been better.

Talk about dumb... wife wanted a fall wedding I said no, July. First kid, planned that shit perfect, July. Second kid, accident. I applied for a Wyoming tag that I knew I would draw with 7 points in the special on Jan 31. Knocked the wife up a week later. Kid born 7 days into rifle season.

She let me leave for 20 days during archery season when she was 8 months pregnant but she didn't let me go back with a rifle the day after my daughter was born. I personally thought that would have been an excellent use of paternity leave.

Congrats on your new addition! Due to my poor planning and lack of self control, 4th rifle is a no-go for me.

Congrats on the upcoming new one! I dont have anything helpful for the hunt, but good luck. I got one coming in January myself, 100% wasn't planned or even supposed to be able to happen.

Sounds like we need a support group thread! This is number 4. I was done after 2!!!!

She wants to shoot the 7saum over her 6.5cm. Looks like 145 cutting edge bullets lazers will be the choice! I told her we’d get her one of those little inflatable round pool floaties so she could stick her belly in it and still lay prone.

Pull the goalie June 1st. Put the goalie back in the net October 1st. It has worked well for me lol.

This thread has not gone as intended. But it hasn’t disappointed either!

We thought we were done after 2. Two surprises later due to Covid restrictions as well as hemming and hawing about being done put us in the boat with 4.

The problem with goalies is that they can have bad games...

I could see 3.... I sometimes think about 3. But 4! No way, no how am I having 4

Crazy talk

Once you have three it has turned into a zone defense where you are outnumbered no matter what. So...honestly other than the cost of diapers and food, you really don't notice it. Especially if you get luck and put enough time between child number one and number 4, number 1 takes care of number 4 LOL.
