Post by: FC on May 15, 2010, 02:01:31 AM: I had a friend that used to burn me like that, he would call me up right before I headed out the door to tell me he wasn't up to fishing that day....I haven't fished with him in years now.

Post by: BigGoonTuna on May 17, 2010, 08:34:56 AM: i don't get guys that are so whipped that their wives won't let them go hunt or fish. guess it's just my upbringing. my dad worked nights so he went whenever he wanted. no such thing as a kitchen pass in the household i grew up in.

Too late for many now, but before you get married ask your fiance' where she (he for the ladies here) stands on your three favorite things, for me: Hunting/fishing, auto racing and Harley's. If they aren't into the time your hobbies take, cut your losses; they'll change enough other things in time, don't sacrifice the things nearest to you. :twocents:

Post by: Copperwood on May 17, 2010, 08:48:55 AM: I hear ya. I have a buddy that calls at the the last minute and cancels too. Now we rarely hunt together. Going a lone is awesome but it's also nice to share the memories.
I don't understand why people put up with there girlfriends/wives/ etc telling them what to do. Especially about hunting. That is a NO NO in my household

Well Said littlemac

Post by: seth30 on May 18, 2010, 08:26:45 PM: LOL that sounds like road hunter rules :P Some of the terrain that I hunt would be really tuff hopping up and down hill. If I stay in the lowlands then I would do it alone, but in no mans land I dont know?
