What would you do?

[dbaio1]

You asked.......so....... if you really can't depend on a 21 yr to cover for a few days while your gone. I'd stay home, make her stay home with me and focus on that issue first hand.

Good luck hope you can make the hunt.

And Congrats and will be praying for a happy and healthy new baby for you all.

DON"T GO !!! With age comes wisdom, and at 61 yr's I am telling you BAD DEAL will come back to haunt u in yr's to come in your relationship with your wife I Garuntie !!! lol

Easy to tell who thinks of themselves before their families on this thread......the choice is yours but it shoulda never even been a question between a hunting trip or your wifes health

[WallHunter]

You ask "what would you do?"

My answer, without elaboration, STAY HOME!

[txdukklr]

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.

No dilemma.

Some stuff is more important, issue isn't whether momma gave permission. It's that your wife is in a condition that requires bed care. Did it twice but anything to protect that fragile situation.

Stay home and get the greater reward. And I for one appreciate a guy who is willing to ask for advice...something the Bible says about iron sharpening iron...

I'd go hunt. She's got 19 weeks left in the pregnancy IIRC, don't let the TBH do-gooders preach to you about morals or what kind of person you are if you go. They're the same ones that would have you put the needs of another child over the needs of your own.

If she gave you the blessing, go for it. Have your daughter help out and tell her how bad you need her to step up for you right now. Those same Monday morning QB's can make an easy decision when it's not their decision. Enjoy your hunt and post LDP's!

I would go. Don't women go full term at 40 weeks? I would tell the kids at home they had better behave, and try to get your daughter to stay some or at least come by every evening. You will probably never get drawn for that hunt again. Since she is cool with it pack the bags and have fun. Probably the last time you get to go on a hunting trip for quite some time.

Thanks for all the responses. Really didn't expect to get ridiculed on here ("cant believe you are even asking total strangers...etc") as I thought this was a great forum with like minded people who would give me there thoughts of "what would you do?" Anyway thanks again for all the responses, good and bad. She is still telling me to go for a day or two so idk what I'm doing yet. Lol

When on an Internet forum with 60k people, you're gonna get 59,999 different opinions. (There's a dude I know with 2 login names) . Anyway, don't be offended. It's what's gonna happen when you ask such a loaded question. Do what you want to do and share the results with us as my opinion was to go and have fun and kill stuff.

Good luck and happy, happy, happy hunting.

My opinion prolly came across more harshly than it should have so I apologize for that......truthfully only you and your wife can know whats appropriate for your situation. .....Im the kind that worries about something bad happening and expects the worst so I would stay home but if your wife and you decide you should go then I wish you all the luck in the world on your hunt and look forward to ldp's.

I've never posted two comments on one thread but thought of a new perspective. What would you think of your life partner if she decided to go on a once in a life time cruise while you were confined to your bed by doctor's orders? In the case of your wife her ailment could cause the loss of your child. Do you want to be with her if she has problems or would you rather get home in time to hear all about it?

[Hot4huntin]

I was averaging 100 nights per year on the road for work when my daughter was born in 1998. My wife was on bed rest also and I stayed as close as possible based on career needs. I will say this.......kids have been born for millennia without hospitals, doctors, families or husbands in the room or nearby. My wife would definitely say go stick that animal but we will be in contact constantly even if it meant having a satellite phone with me. it truly depends on the type of woman you married and the relationship you have developed. good luck either way!

This...

I would not want Bobby to miss the hunt.
