You don't know how much I envy you if she likes hunting.  I'd have some extra cash for a hotel if it gets really cold.  You've gotta concentrate on her needs and create a good expreiance for her so that she'll be hooked.  Once she's hooked she'll start hackin' the elements and toughen' up if she hasn't already.

I'm heading for the Northeast this weekend and they're calling for snow nest week.  Lots of miserable weather should be coming in.  Good for the hunt but not so good for a first time hunter unless you get a deer right away.

Good Luck!!!

I say take her! You'll probably be eating a lot better with the wifey then u just opening a can of beans :p

Quality time with your wife, and you get to hunt deer too!  So what if it's somewhat less than your ideal hunt; think of it as working on strengthening your marriage - AND you might get to kill a deer!  If she's volunteering, that's a no-brainer in my book.

It's been 8 years since my wife's health got too poor for her to want to go hunting any more, and I certainly treasure those memories now!

Whats most important is that she wears a barbie doll in Camo Booty pattern, and the sleeping bags are zipped together.  You'll get horn for sure.

Took her to Joes last night after some dinner out...
She's got a little camo, and I said don't spend too much, I'd rather you just wear the snow clothes that are warm and will keep her dry then blow a load on gear she may not use again.  Got a 0 degree bag for her (it'll zip to mine!) so nights should be OK.  I was like a little kid in a toy store there last night, but we kept it down to a minimum with the purchases; just some cover over type camo pants, new thermal undies, orange plastic vest, and hand warmers.  We looked at boots, but she's going to make due with the low top Sorrel type thing she has.  She wanted bear spray, i told .30 06 rounds are good bear spray and she finally conceded there.
We're rolling out tonight after work, if all goes smoothly should make camp tonight in the rain around 12:30.  Grab a couple of hours of sleep, and start marching around.
Thanks again everyone the advice on this topic and others has really helped me keep my head up this year.  Wish us luck!

He's got a thing about girls in deer camp!  He's even told me he would never bring his daughter if he had one.

i think his mind would change if he had a daughter.
take the wife, don't worry about the buddy.

Take your daughter hunting if you get the chance...
