    I am not one of these people that have such a busy life that I barely hunt. I put hunting near the top of my list with only family being above it. Football is just under hunting. I even worked my "arse" off to make sure my honey do list was done prior to hunting so nothing gets in the way. Having said that, with Grouse hunting for 5 days last week, my wife being sick, then the kid being sick, stuff around the house, work, my mom broke her hip, etc, I have not hunted in two weeks. It hurts big time. Perfect example, I was going to go out tonight and my wife just called me and said she forgot she has a dentist appointment tonight. :mad:

    I AM going Friday. Don't care what the excuse may be then. You have to draw the line in the sand somewhere.

    Oh did I mention that I am going to miss a perfect wind and perfect weather tonight?

    I can't kill a deer this way.:(

    GFY--with a busy wife and schedule plus 3 kids, I understand man. The honey to do list is very important. Let me let you in on a little known secret that will enable you to hunt without any problems for 10-14 days. Send some randomn flowers to your wife at work. :)

    I was fixing to say....a guy goes hunting 5 times in one week and can't find time to hunt? LOL Give up the birds and go for the deer, if deer hunting is what you are missing.
