Well Friday I took my girlfriend hunting for her first time she hated it at first the wind was blowing her tree all around she was in a ladderstand and I was beside her in my summit we had been there for about 30 minutes and she said she didn't want to hunt no more so we climbed down and was on the way back to the house about halfway home I talked her into coming to a 2 person ladderstand on the edge of a green field with me so we got there and the wind had slowed down a little and about 5:45 I heard something in the woods to my left she got excited and started shaking so bad the tree was moving! 10 minutes later an armadillo comes out and I ask her does she want me to shoot it and she did so I got my bow up and made a perfect 30 yard shot on him and she just melts she didn't know what to do she was so excited about that armadillo it was crazy! Well we sat there and talked about it for a minute then she was ready to go and by this time I figured our hunt was over we stand up getting ready to go down and there he comes a buck I call crab claw he is a 10 point with the most symmetrical rack I've ever seen I tap her on her shoulder trying to let her know not to move and she said "what" in her normal voice not whispering or anything and I just knew that he is going to bolt but he didn't he just kept coming towards us I was running low on light and I could barely stand up she was shaking so bad I ain't ever saw somebody as excited as her right then! Ole crab claw popped his head out at 6:37 4 minutes after legal shooting light and I couldn't see my pins anyways I may have not got him that hunt but I know for a fact that he got her I ain't been on a hunt by myself since! Hell we're sitting in the tree together now. She has never been hunting and has made fun of me forever for getting up day after day and trying to be as scent free as possible and hunting my heart out but as we was walking back after I went and got my arra from the armadillo she told me that was the most fun she has ever had and more excited then she has ever been she's hooked ain't no going back now she's a hunter

Good stuff there!! I wish mine would've taken to it that well. Maybe when these kids get a little older she'll go some more and share the love with me! Only time will tell, but it sounds like you've hit a homerun!

If my wide loved it like I do, we'd be unemployed and homeless by February. Not really but close.

If your wife read that you just called her "Fat", you'd be unemployed and homeless by December.


Congrats YellaJacket.

Reads like you found a keeper.



God Bless,
