What would you do?
I have a dilemma. My wife is 21 weeks pregnant and has been placed on bed rest. I have two boys 7&9 that are good but a handful at times as all kids can be. I also have a 21 year old daughter that can help us a little but she isn't always the most reliable and she and my wife butt heads . My dilemma is that I was drawn for an exotic hunt next week at Guadalupe river Bauer unit. The hunt is Monday-Friday. Out of 3000 entries only 10 people were drawn. She gave the OK to go for a few days but I feel guilty and would be about 3 hours away if something happened. What would you do?

I would talk to the people that run the hunt. Explain the whole situation and ask them what your options are. Ask if you can postpone your hunt until after the birth of the baby.
No matter what they say, I don't think this is a good time for you to go on the hunt.
Good luck.Comment

That is a dilemma, but I would look at all the possible options at my disposal and make a decision. That is one hunt that I know you would like to make. Do your best to get things in order for your wife and if you can make the hunt. If you cannot get your wifes situation handled to her and your satisfaction, then I would have to scratch the hunt.Comment

Don't go......trust me on this.
It's your unborn child versus an animal hunt.
I made a similar error years ago. I have been forgiven but GUYS, women don't forget this kind of stuff.Comment

Either find someone who is reliable or stay home with the wife. Me being me, I would try really really hard to find someone reliable. But at the end of the day there will always be other hunts.Comment

I was in your shoes many years back. The wife at the time and the inlaws wanted me to go but I wanted to stay. After promising me they would call at the first sign of trouble I agreed and went. There was no issue and all went well.
Now fast forward 3 years at our divorce and custody trial. The wife and inlaws told the judge I was uncaring and went on a hunt whiled the wife was pregnant, I was floored! Tread lightly my friend.Comment
