Yes, it is. Just about 4 miles west of Van Buren, left on Hwy C and then about 4 or 5 miles on Hwy C to Trail 9 road. Two or three miles up that and you're there. How far away from there are you? If you're not too far I may call you if I stick one and need help blood trailing.
I'm about 1.5 hours away, maybe a little less. Honestly I wouldn't mind but I also am working long hours right now too, so there's no guarantees.
That was just a joke, my friend. I won't impose on anyone if I can help it - especially someone I don't really know. I have a good family friend about an hour and a half away in Pocahontas, AR who said I could call him if need be. I don't foresee any problems anyway. I have two prime spots and they're both in the bottom of valleys. Mortally wounded deer don't tend to run up-hill and I can see quite a ways in both of them. I should see them fall if (when) I make a good shot.
My wife is the best, but I'm not sure she'd go for that. Me staying in a travel trailer with another man, I mean.
Just a "slightly" similar story. This past mother's day I had just bought a new enduro motorcycle (new to me) the week before. My mother passed away in 1988 and we don't have kids. My wife gave me a pass from dinner with the mother in law to go riding for the same reason as your wife. I went riding thinking how lucky I was and how great she was for giving me the go ahead. I crashed and tore my right bicep tendon which required surgery and I am still dealing with it today. I think I'll stay home on "holidays" now....
I do the same for my husband as well. I knew from the day I met him how much hunting meant to him and that is something that I will never interfere with. He has quite a bit of vacation and this year took the entire month of November off. He left for our cabin Oct 30th and will be coming back Dec 1st. I have had so many people make comments like, why would you "let" your husband be gone for a month, I hope he would at least come back for Thanksgiving, how could he be away from his family that long...and so on. Well, this is his passion and it makes him happy. He busts his butt all year long - he deserves this! Our first year together he asked me if I wanted him to come home for Thanksgiving. I told him no. I knew he was feeling torn. I knew he wanted to stay hunting, but was thinking he should come home for me. If we tell you to go - we want you to go! It does make us happy to see our husbands happy Isn't that what marriage is all about? Sounds like you have a great wife - and you are a great husband! Good team!
As much as I love hunting, I would stay home for thanks giving. Show her that you love her and want her to be happy. It will pay off even better in the future. Active Duty NAVY
You are a lucky man! I've been married to the same woman for forty years and she still gives me a hard time!
