Your wife and daughter in law would probably freak when they walked into my house with over 50 mounts from Euro's to full body mounts from TX, Africa and NZ!

My wife is like that. And for that reason, she won't go. She respects that I love and want to go, and doesn't want to hear my hunting stories.

The hog or the wife?

The hog. She won’t go hunting to this day and that was about 5 years ago.

Too bad y’all missed out on some good quality family time over that. I get that not everyone wants to/enjoys killing, but what the heck did they think happened there? Also I know every relationship works differently but I don’t understand how you and your son could be happy being treated like that?

On Saturday morning, get up before everyone and fry up a pound of bacon for breakfast.

Bacon fixes everything.

Sounds like you and your wife will sort this out. I would be more concerned with your son’s new wife. It’s possible her core beliefs against killing (apparently even vermin like hogs) will put your son in a bad position where he won’t be allowed to join you at the ranch. Time will tell, but if he suddenly becomes too busy to join you to work or hunt at the ranch you’ll know why...

I hold the time I spend hunting with my kids as sacred. It’s part of the fabric of our lives and the memories we have made are irreplaceable. I suspect you do as well. I think a family meeting about the issue would be helpful to attempt to resolve the conflict. Bad idea to ignore it - you married for so long will understand that.

Good luck!!

My wife doesn't like it either. She'll go for rides, eat the food, help with processing. She will grind, make jerky etc once it doesn't look like an animal but doesn't want to see a dead one. She knows the process but is tender hearted. I think once it's broken down enough she doesn't associate it with the animal anymore. Heck we strung up my nephew's FFA pigs in our back yard and butchered them. She wouldn't walk out the door when it was going on but did cook it for dinner. Females are odd characters.
She likes mounts and we have deer heads etc on the wall. She looks at trail cam pics with me etc. I do know not to kill anything in front of her (guarantee she'd cry as well) and I warn her if there's a dead animal in the back of the truck. She just steers clear of it until it's broken down then good to go. She wasnt raised in a hunting family but respects it and believes it's the best way to get meat, said she's happy our son will learn how

These stories blow me away. I dont get it at all.....

I really don't know what to say other than his thread will be multiple pages and I hope you have thick skin.

Start calling you Nostradamus.

I can respect this to a point.....my wife is not a trigger puller either and we have tried to break her of that with a summer of skeet shooting and then dove hunting. She made the effort even going out in the field and she just didn't dig it on live animals. She did love to sit in the field and watch me shoot and Abby work though so that was a plus. Plus she would cross the eyes of any fish she gets a chance too and throws crappie, redfish and trout in the cooler to eat with no issues. That all being said, like your wife she does not pull triggers and I can respect that.



Where I would draw the line is the hissy fit and being called a murderer. That's just flat out ridiculous. If you want respect, as Codie was preaching above, you dang sure better act respectful as well if I make "a mistake". And your poor son.....being made to leave the property spending family time with his folks because sweet princess saw death? I don't even have words for that kinds of crap. My wife and I have been married 21 years and I can't ever recall she or I making one or the other dramatically leave somewhere like that. I'm trying to picture my wife pulling that and the look on my face when she demanded it if not laughter.....and vice versa....the look on her face if I told her we need to leave her families house because something ticked me off would be just as deserving.. I'd get a "you better get over yourself there Mr. Smart and act like an adult" just like she would get if she asked me to do the same. Nip that in the bud quick son!

Can I get a hallelujah!
