My wife is pretty understanding... especially now that all three sons are bowhunters as well! I do get a lot of flack over all of the equipment and how much room it takes up in the basement. And then... there is her prayer every year that I kill a monster on opening day. Not that she is really excited about me killing a nice buck... just that I won't be spending as much time perched in a tree cuddled up with with my Mathews instead of her:)
