Am I in the Wrong?

pigs squeal..they die...all is good..she just needs to figure it out

I don't think she needs to figure it out. If she doesn't like that part of hunting, just like most women, then don't force it on her. Now if she starts throwing fits about you hunting then there are plenty other does out there, I mean fish in the sea!!!

[Huntin*Honey]

Have you taken her hunting?....when I was much younger I felt bad for the animals my husband killed too...and even when I started hunting I still felt bad.... until my husband explained to me that if you feel that way it just means that you have respect for those animals. As long as you're killing for food and your not leavin the animal I don't see what the big deal is.

Be comforting and understanding and tell her that pigs just do that. Don't let it get to you and your main passion...HUNTING! Just remember one thing brother...KAP baby! Oh yea, Guns up!

I was just sitting here thinking to myself... "man I wish the only complaint my wife had about me was watching a pig squeal upon death" I consider you a lucky man sir... very very lucky !!

[arrowsmack324]

Nope and thats what you have to look forward to. I'd get lookin for a new one.

My first wife was the same way, she didn't last long.

I made sure I really knew the next one, and we are living happily ever after!

[Snakelover]

Am I in the wrong by getting so frustrated at her for just not getting it?

It's not a good idea to let yourself get frustrated over this. She may never "get it." Big fat hairy deal. She's entitled to feel differently than you do about it. In the big scheme of things, that's an insignificant difference in opinion that shouldn't have any bearing on your relationship.

These one may help her understand.

What does the barber say?

A wise man once said you can be right, or you can be happy, but you can't be both

You just need to respect her feelings, my wife does not care for hunting, does not want to keep me from going, just does not care for it herself. She has started learning how to shoot a recurve bow at 3-D targets, so who knows? I can always hope for the best but accept the present.

[Lost Buckaroo]

Sounds to me like you need to invest $45.00 in my Jimmy Grimes sinsetivity training 3 dvd set. where I will teach you how to negotiate your way thru these troubled waters

[hawkusmc]

Men are hunters/gatherers. Women are nest-builders. It's been that way since the Ice-Age. I know....I was there! If she is left-wing liberal than I strongly recommend that you delete her frm your future plans. You need a REAL woman,...See also..."STAND BY YOUR MAN" My Lord has blessed me with MY PERFECT WOMAN, she will tend her chickens, and stand back- to- back with me with guns a -blazin'- WTSHTF! 'Nuff Said.

[Legdog]

Yes you are in the wrong to be frustrated with people who don't get hunting (in this case a person very close to you).

I have a lot of liberal cousins who do not understand hunting. Slowly, with time, as they see the recipes come together, read the stories and see the images, they come around.

I imagine your girlfriend will too.

Be sure to include her if she shows even slight interest. If she's still around in the Spring, I'd bring her to bownanza. It's an easy way for people outside the bowhunting universe to begin to "get it". After all, bowhunting is not just squealing pigs. It's campfire fellowship wrapped in a bowhunting tortilla.

I've been married 24 years. Anytime, your dealing with women.
Your Wrong.

The world would be such a better place if we men would just realize this sooner
