    Is hunting really your top priority? No way I could do that to the woman I just married. Sorry, but that just seems messed up.

    Are you at least going to be hunting some place besides RI? Maybe if you got to go hunting for something in another state or country this might be ok but honestly if your just hunting your home state/land in the middle of October I would rather spend some quality honeymoon time with the new wife.

    Also if you skip hunting during the honeymoon when she has said you can go I would hold on to that because you can play that card some other time when you actually need it!

    So, you are saying that since you hunted on your honeymoon and have not gotten a divorce, that its the right thing to do? lol

    If you cant stay out of the woods long enough to do something that your new bride shares interest in for a honeymoon, you don't deserve her. And, she certainly doesn't deserve to play second fiddle to any outside interests. To me, its really that simple. Some guys think that it makes them macho. But, in reality, it makes them look immature, self-centered, and clueless.

    Family comes first. I was smart and got married in May when no hunting is going on.

    Our honeymoon last year was a ten day whitetail deer hunt to IL...so I have no room to talk.

    But congratulations on the marriage!

    Nothing macho about it, my wife was fine with it, heck she suggested I bring my gun in the first place. I also took her walleye fishing with a guide. It certainly was not that I was ignoring my wife or that she demanding my undivided attention. If both parties are ok with it why let it bother you.

    Not married but honeymoon isn't the time I would want to go hunting. Maybe a few anniversaries down the road go for it.

    I'd be happy with it falling during the "October lull".

    To each their own I guess.

    Conrat's on the wedding

    If both parties are TOGETHER and enjoy it, I have no problem with it at all. Lucky for you, your wife enjoys the outdoors.

    I took my wife deep sea fishing on the honeymoon. She spent 4 hours puking over the side of the boat...... Probably not the best decision we have ever made :)

    Congrats on the wedding, you're walking a slippery slope brother family first. Your marriage won't always be new....Enjoy the time you have with her. Priorities! Family first! The deer aren't going anywhere. Just my 2 cents.

    So you are saying since you disagree that it has to be the wrong thing to do?

    Not all couples have the same relationship. What works for you may not work for others. We never had a honeymoon, my grandmother passed the morning of our wedding day. However I would not have hunted if we did, but that doesn't mean that couldn't work for a different couple.

    This isn't Archerytalk, save your judgements.

    You are right. Some couples have a really crappy relationship where they both do their own thing and don't really have a good reason to be married. Some couples don't make it very long because the manly man does whatever he wants, whenever he wants without regard for his partner's wants or needs. Not going on a honeymoon has nothing to do with leaving your new spouse while you pursue a hobby that she has no interest in. You say you wouldn't do it. Most here agree. So, ya, it's probably just not the right thing to do. You are also right that this is not Archery Talk. Why don't you save yourself from my "judgements" by simply hitting the ignore button.
