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:)
My wife's biggest complaint is "why does deer hunting have to be so expensive." Like her shopping isn't expensive.
most of these are good...my wife is awesome when it comes to hunting...never a complaint when i go everyday in pa, then road trips to ohio, ny and vt and buying 'stuff'...but probably the most used one is when i spend a ton of time and money on food plots..."oh gotta feed the deer again!"
Will hunt for food...will work for beer.
Leave'r Right There!
My wife doesn't complain much. Amazing how understanding she is. Over the years I've gotten into just about everything involving hunting, including making a career out of it for a few years and buying two farms specifically just for deer hunting. She's been patient through it all. I try to be the best husband and father in return and not take advantage of their generosity and it seems to have worked for the last 15 years. She does enjoy joking and ribbing me about it on a regular basis though.

I have to say I'm pretty lucky. My wife and I eat every bit of the deer I get so she doesn't mind it too much. If I have to pick one thing she complains about is just making sure I my tree harnesses are still good and not worn out. I guess that's the one thing she tell me to buy new every year!
