My wife new how much I loved hunting when we got married, I was off 42 days this past deer season and hunted 39. She gets upset but she knows I love it she gripes about the dogs but I'm putting in kennels with drains, auto watering, and gonna rig up some type of auto feeding system to make it easier when I'm gone working. That being said I have no problem cooking or doing laundry ect.. When I'm off work and not hunting. I also make it a habit to take her nice places or send flowers and always have a few days planned somewhere nice around the anniversary with no kids. Any relationship takes WORK on both sides to make it work.
Thats pretty much how i roll, I work 12 hrs a day 7 days a week most of the year, and when i get a day off im hunting.  Yep, she fusses about the dogs, me being gone, all the money i spend on equipment and dogs, but she hasnt worked in 7 yrs, and gets to stay home and take care of the kids, which isnt an easy job, but it aint a factory job either. She dont like it, but she feeds and takes care of my dogs while im gone, helps me pack my gear, makes sure i aint forgeting anything, "cause i always do" cooks and does all the things house wifes do. Now we dont always see eye to eye, and we are both very stubborn and hard headed which make for week long arguements, cause she wont admit shes wrong and started the whole thing anyway   BUT, she would never, ...........i mean better NEVER put my dogs on any craigs list. Its alot of give and alot of take, and ALOT of forgiving, on my part anyway But if i would have came home and my best dog had been sold, some of her prized posession would have magically dissapeared too, But thats just me, You are the one that has to live with the decisions, that you make not anybody els, and when there are children involved, it does make a difference. Good luck |

My wife get rid of any of my dogs and it will be on like Donkey Kong. I make sure my wife knows there are lines you don't cross. I try to play nice but I make it real clear that my wife picks how I play. Nice is always better.

thats the whole fact of this thread, u dnt sale a mans dog just because u dnt like it!!!! i would be the first person in my house to suggest salen my dog if it came down to my kids. with that being said, there are lines u just dnt cross, and to sale my dog while im not home is way over the line!!! no for all u guys just in the starting stage of a relationship, if she does`nt like the fact that u hunt and the time u spend with ur dogs she wont ever be able to stand it or tolerate it better to part ways early. my ole ladie knew how i was when she got with me and she hunts with me here and there and sometimes she does get in a up roar cause i hunt atleast 4 times a week. So when im not hunting and tending to dogs it is all about her and the kids.so give a little ! to get alot  |

My wife enjoys hunting wth me. She has never ran dogs with me, but has spent alot of hours in a deer stand and riding around shooting pigs. but she knows when to not push it to much. she understands that hunting is "my time" and she doesnt push me about it. she also knows that she would have to find a new place to live if she ever sold one of my dogs. not mention she would get to dig a whole for this POS shizu she has in the house....lol

Just a thought and some experience for all you guys sayin momma would be down the road.. I had that same mentality. She didnt like the dogs and hated me huntin.. I cut down to 2 yes 2 times a YEAR!! She still didnt want the 2, yes 2 dogs i had at the time in the yard. She and my son were more important than the thirty minutes a day i spent with the dogs.. I told her i was raised with dogs and she could have her damn cats in the house but i WAS keeping the dogs.. Long story short.. I have an attorney and am fighting to keep the house, and see my kid, whom ive lost precious time with. Id have got rid of every damn dog in the yard and the neighbors too to keep my youngin at the house!!!!!!! Cheaper to get rid of some of the dogs and wait it out... TRUST ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ninja i dont argue that a bit.. The only thing is if i woulda got rid of the dogs when the day comes my son asked my why, i coulda told him i did EVERYTHING i could have, even something as trivial as getting rid of two dogs.. It was just her on a power trip though i and everyone else knows that..
