I told mine 39 years ago, I had these dogs when I met you and I'll have them when your gone. Now she tells me, you need to go hunting so you'll quit bitching.
You know about 5 years ago a good family freind and hunting partner passed away from a heart attack at 73 the day after we had hunted with him and we had been hunting with him a couple times a week, that spring and into summer. At his funeral his wife thanked us for hunting with him and said during the time we were hunting so often, it was the happiest she had seen him in a long time. She also said that before they got married he told her that he was gonna go hunting allot and if she had a problem with that she should get out now. Well they lasted till death do us part. But Its most likely better said before you start talking about getting married.
I am single.
