[QUOTE="Kevin, post: 5791109, member: 4675"] I dropped deer hunting for the most part when we had our first child. I went exclusively to duck hunting. We lived in LA and East TN for most of the oldest first few years, and I would have a 7 hour drive ahead of me going to and from, and would usually stay for a 4-5 day minimum. It would take me a day or 2 to recover once I got home from grinding public ducks and traveling so hard. There was a lot of times she would get upset, because I hunted 30+ days a duck season, and I was living 7 hours away from where I hunted. Now that we are back in West TN, we have a deal that I do my very best to play the weather and optimize the good days. I'm usually never gone more than 3 days at a time any more. We have 3 kids now from 10 down to 4, and they are USUALLY pretty easy for her to manage. The deer hunting has picked back up, and the kids are much more involved in that. My wife enjoys bow hunting, and has shot a buck on public land with a bow. She gets its, she doesn't necessarily want to grind, but she is understands the grind, and wants a lay-up easy hunt every now and then as well. I have made a point to try and go above and beyond around the house the past couple of years. That really helps her out. [/QUOTE]
