So who else is in the doghouse for getting ready for Oct. 1st?

[baldguy637]

It seems like the UPS/FED EX/ USPS had delivered a package every day for the past couple of weeks, and the Mrs is starting to get a little perturbed. And to top it all off, I just ordered 4 more packages today! I may need a place to crash for a couple of weeks after this week, lol.

Here's my list for the past few weeks...

Big Game Venture 2 man stand
Big Game Boss XL lock on
Daughters New Mission Bow
HHA Single pin sight (for my bow)
Axion stabilizer (for my bow)
Custom Bow string (for my bow)
Broadheads
Field point target
New light weight camo
Hunter Safety system harnesses for both daughters
Nockturnal nocks (for my bow)

Still need...

New camo for the girls (they need to stop growing)
Rope for lifelines on 4 stands


I have a feeling when my wife and I go out for our anniversary next week, it isn't going to be cheap.

Looks to me like you are taking time for your daughters. Someday they might be too busy to go hunting with the old man, you're just making time for them now. If you have to spend a few dollars to make sure you all have proper equipment, that's just the cost of doing business. Besides, twenty years from now will you look back on this season and regret how much you spent or be grateful for the memories and lessons?

At least that's the line of bull I would lay on the old lady if I were in your shoes, your mileage may vary, I am not a lawyer, etc.

 

[Hoosier Carry]

Yep! I am right there with you. I have spent a lot in the last month. You picked up a good bow though. Did you get the Craze?

 

[baldguy637]

No, I got the menace. The craze was a little too heavy for her (she's 7) and being shorter axle to axle would exaggerate her mistakes in form.

She's doing remerkably well with it, we're back to 15 yards now holding around a 5-6" group.

The only things I need for deer season this yr are:

My tags
Scent killer body wash and laundry detergent

But............ if I want it, I'll buy it. I pay for everything else so should there be complaints, they know where the door is.

Hunting and fishing before they came along, hunt and fish while there, and will hunt and fish when they're gone.

It's not a contest. I chose to include them in my life. That's saying something. if they see it as a contest or want to make it one...........toodles.

Nope, my wife came home with some new camo last week. I put up two new ladder stands for her, well I might sneak in and hunt out of them one morning when she is as work. We hunt with both our daughters wife sets with one and I set with other firearm season oldest real close to pulling enough weight maybe next year. We would never regret about money spent, them smiles even on unsuccessful hunts and the even bigger smiles on successful ones are priceless. Come to think of it my carbon bow was a anniversary present from my wife this year

 

[Hookeye]

Mine doesn't care as long as it's good looking stuff.
May have another classic recurve coming soon.......she was happy in that the # is significantly less than the one I hunt with now.

I am not only because I have been getting up @ 5:00 am and back home by 9:30 -10 am on Sunday mornings to work on my stands and cutting shooting lanes. I did spend Saturday afternoon until dark putting up one stand at another property but was home all day Sunday. Saturday was spent with the kids with all of their sport activities.
As I have spent very little money, my wife has been very understanding.

I am sure once Oct 1st comes, I will be in the dog house a little unless I get a buck and doe quickly.

 

[Hookeye]

Mine said to heck with the deer, shoot more birds......or go blast a pig.
But 2 of my kids and I cook venison on the grill like crazy- need at least 2 deer in the freezer.
