[QUOTE="judgebill, post: 1907138, member: 101611"] James, Lots of good, and some not-so-good advice here. Mostly we're people who enjoy shooting and hunting. Note (and tell your wife) it's called "hunting", not "killing". The true nature of the sport is the planning, the preparation and the overall experience of the hunt, including the camaraderie of the other hunters, the excitement of looking and the satisfaction of making a clean kill. Then, of course, for most of us there is the joy of cooking a meal with the game we have harvested ourselves. Man is a carnivore and a hunting animal, we are biologically inclined to the hunt. Society, at least some societies, try to downplay that biological destiny but our bodies, with binocular vision (depth perception) and prehensile hands (to grasp clubs, and guns) and canine teeth (to tear meat from the bone) and molars (to grind not just grains but also meat) all suggest we continue to thrive on meat. Having said all that there is still an emotional component involved and if your wife is not convinced of your interests about all you can do is work with her, accept her visions of how life should be lived and ask her to accept the same thing with you. Marriage, as we know, is a mutual affair with two people required to survive. Good luck and blessings to you in your time of need. [/QUOTE]
