This was from some years ago, but thought with early season upon us you all might appreciate!!!!! Season is racing here in MT.... Wishing you good blood trails and much success as your seasons get under way.
My wife never had any problems with me hunting, eating venison, or helping butcher them. She just didn't want to kill a deer herself. In 2017 that changed, she said she wanted to give it a try. I had a new rifle ordered, it showed up about 2 weeks later, and as soon as I got it home, she stole it from me!
Anyway, aside from wanting my rifle back, we talked about how I've always had better luck during bow season, so I ended up taking her out opening morning with my crossbow. An hour after sunrise, we had 6 bucks in front of us and she shot a 5 point. Now she thinks deer hunting is easy!! She hasn't been back out since.
