I consider myself lucky that my wife was a hunter and shooter when I met her. She was raised the daughter of an old cowboy, so she grew up doing these things...and, in fact, she had several guns of her own when we got together... Also it makes it much easier when I run across a gun that I "just gotta have"...cause she understands...because there have been times when she has done the same thing with a gun she "just had to have".......... Does your spouse hunt and/or shoot ?

Mine doesn't hunt or shoot now, about 30 years ago she did shoot some with me and the boys. She always has been understanding about our additiction to guns and hunting.

My wife used to hunt and shoot but she never go's anymore. I still ask her if she wants to come along but she never go's

When my wife does things in the outdoors with me she will say "Tell Me When The Fun Begins!" Nope she does not hunt and does not fresh water fish. Now she will hold a pole when we surf fish.................sometimes actually very few times......

My ex spouse did and my "bf/guyfriend" does. I prefer that, cause like you say Mongo, the other half understands expenses related to it (or splurges..lol) and it's just easier to justify the expense. Cause, heck, they do it too...lol.

My wife doesn't hunt but she used to shoot a little. I will have to give her credit, she is an excellent shot. She is a natural with a hand gun and small bore rifles. I think the reason she doesn't like hunting is simply because in the back of her mind she knows that shooting is the easy part. Maybe after the little bawana gets bigger I can get her back into shooting.

Before we were married I talked my wife into throwing clay pigeons for me ONCE. She also shot a 22lr handgun once.
The upside is I sneek new guns into the house and she does not notice and she even has told friends that I have not bought a gun in 10 years. When she said that my friends and I all looked at our shoes to keep from laughing.

My wife had never handled a fire arm before we met and darned few fishing poles, but never particularly feared guns or had any qualms about my being an avid shooter and fisherman. When we first got together I made it a point to ensure that she and all the children got enough training to be safe gun handlers, even if they chose not to own or use fire arms on any regular basis.

In the last 15 years, she has become rather proficient with rifles and moderately competent with pistols, although she does not like the feel and blast of a handgun nearly as much as she does a long gun. Neither one of us is outstanding as a wing shot, maybe 75% at skeet, but her bedside 12 bore and the expression on her face when she picks it up would bring a cold sweat to a brass monkey!

My wife doesn't hunt but will sometimes shoot my pistols. She gets a little frustrated after a while when I spend and spend on my food plot but a freezer full of venison and maybe some turkey usually ends that nagging and we will repeat the cycle again!!
