[Hunterman]

,,,,Range tomarrow to punch some holes in some targets....I need to check the zero on my .240 Weatherby, and she was thinking about hunting this year, so I'm going to let her shoot my .30-06, and the .240... Plus we're taking the .22 with around 200 rounds just for fun hump ...

Note to self: Remember she out shot you in high school so don't piss her off at the range hump

I am taking Mrs. Whiskers fishin on Wednesday! Oh boy joy, joy. She has already told me she doesn't want to go in the ocean, wants to stay in the back bays. She doesn't want to go where there are a lot of mosquitos or green flies. They live in the back bays, she wants to take a pic nic lunch. I usually take some pretzels and lots of bottled water.
The last time I took her I got her ready, gave her a open face spinning rod, told her to cast it behind the boat, and just jig it along with the boat drift. While I was baiting my rod, I heard a clunk, and a mutter, then another clunk and another mutter. I turned around and saw her bait and weight laying on the deck of the boat, an a mess on the reel. She wouldn hold the line when she flipped the bail, letting gravity take its course, then she had the rod upside down, so she would reel backwards when she tried to reel it back up. I patiently fixed that and explained the concept of the spinning reel. She seemed to understand that, but she could only cast about 10 feet behind the boat, which was ok, we were drifting. We did a couple of drifts and came up empty, and I had to listen to her talk about how she needed a bobber on her line. She couldn't fish without a bobber. I decided we would cruise over to a shallow area, and she could use a bobber. On the way, I spotted the birds, diving, which means baitfish, which means bluefish. When they are feeding like that a retard can catch one. I made the mistake of telling her that. I grabbed a rod that I always have rigged with a silver spoon, just for this scenairo. Other boats were converging on the birds, ready to slay the blues. I told her I will get you close, stand in the front of the boat and just cast under the birds, and retreive the spoon as fast as you can. Remember she could only cast about 10ft 5 minutes ago. Her first cast was abeaut about 60 yards, but not to the front, it went on a right angle, and almost hit the guy on the boat to our right. She said oops, and tried again, this time she almost nailed the guy on the left. She finally got it to go straight, and hooked a blue, too which she proudly announced in a voice loud enough to hear back at the house.. FISH ON!! You woulda thought she nailed a Marlin. After a couple of more near misses of other boats, and one more FISH ON, she was ready to retire the spoon of death, and head home, with her two blues. Much to my relief. I think you can understand, why I ain not real thrilled about taking her out on Wedenesday. She thinks we need more quality time together.

LMAO Whiskers....

I run into the same scenarios when I take my wife out...

She is afraid of being out any where near dark, any thing that makes noise in the brush has to be a Red-Eyed, Snot blowing, Evil Denizen, that eats human flesh and she is their next victim....

It was all I could do to get her to hang around long enough last year, 2 ½ miles back to get her elk, she pulled the trigger, looked at her watch, figured she had just enough time to get back to the truck before dark, looked at me and stated the hard part was done, she would wait in the truck till I got back with the elk…

I got the last parts of him in the truck right at midnight, she wasn’t very happy that I would leave her sitting in the truck half the night while I farted around getting the elk out, and what took so long any way….

All well, ya gotta love your gal no matter what, at least now she will pull the trigger, when we first got together, she stated she wouldn’t even eat one if I shot it. She’s coming along and it has only been about 18 plus years to get her to this point…

We need to go to the range when I get back. I talked to mom and she said she had a shot group about the size of number 4 shot from a shotgun.

Whiskers and Elkchsr, I enjoyed your stories. My wife still gets excited thinking about her first elk hunting trip and how the ground shook from the heard of elk running near her.

LOL...
The first time I took my wife out, we were still living in Washington, I had a tree stand set up along the edge of a clear cut and there was a windrow of debis stacked in the middle with an opening in the middle of that.

I set her up in a nice little nest so she could watch them come thru in the morning before light so she could witness them when they come thru.

I see them come thru the clear cut, right thru the opening not fifteen feet from where she could see them up close and personal.

An hour or so later, I climbed out of the stand to go over and see if she liked the view and to see how many pictures she had been able to take.

There she was, fast asleep, and didn't believe me that any elk had been thru that close, I had to show her the ground where it had been all tore up from the 20 or so elk that had past her by...
