Hi q,
I'm not a widow, but I was a child without a father. Those winter months can be rotten. All our family birthdays and holidays were Oct.-Jan., and dad missed most of them. He generally came back to re-stock or drop off a kill (both instances were rare).Will your DH camp in the snow? Does he take buddies who are safe? Have you ever gone with? Now that I am married I do not like my husband to go away into the woods for more than a night without checking in. Thank goodness for cell phones!
Do you have been plans for your free time?

My husband doesn't hunt but my brother does. He counts down the days until opening season. A few years ago he actually wanted me to move my wedding date up because he planned on going hunting that day (it was planned for October). I refused to so he just went hunting a have a day and came to my wedding that night. These hunter take it so seriously I just can't understand how they'll b__w off everything just to sit out in the woods in the feezing cold for hours or days!

I'm a video game widow. Every spare second my husband has he is on a video game. Sigh. Anyway I somewhat know how you feel. The main difference is that my husband is here to say "honey i'm hungry" or something like that. Men. Sigh.

I'm a farming widow. My fiance has been hauling corn all fall for his friend who has a combining business so the weekend after Emma was born he started working AFTER his regular job. He's hardly been home the last month but the money is nice and I got this mommy thing under control :)

All my boyfriends lived for deer hunting season. I know how you feel. That's the bad part about living in Minnesota. Plus we live one minute from Wisconsin so they'd go hunting in BOTH states so for about three weeks I did whatever the hell I wanted!!! I didn't care cus I didn't have kids at the time.

Oh No! I dread dear season as well. This is an opportunity for my husband to get with a bunch of his hillbilly friends and drink beer and hunt for deer. It has bothered me since we started dating. They don't drink while hunting or anything but for some reason the sun goes down around 5:30 but I don't see him until much later. This year I am not thrilled because I have a 3 year old and a newborn and am not getting any sleep. Deer hunting is not important and I feel that he should skip it this year. I just can't see anyone wanting to sit in a tree in the cold for 10 hours?

Normally I would be one for the next week. But he has to be on call sometimes for his work and lucky for me it is next week!! Next year it is back to the normal.

Oh, do I know how you all feel. Friday is opening day in Missouri. So I am not planning on seeing my husband until Sunday night. He always comes home and then straight to bed and up and gone first thing in the morning again. I really dont see the fun in hunting, I never have understood this. I used to sit at home and get mad when the clock would read 10 pm and I knew that it had been dark for a good 4 hours and still no husband, but now me and 4 other wives all get babysitters and go out on our own, or we all gather at someones house with the kids. This makes deer season alot eaiser, in fact this year I am kid on looking forward to it.

Mu husband got into the hunting sport for the past two years. He plans to take him hunting when he gets older. For me, I really don't want him to do that from a young age. I'm not in favour of the whole idea of guns and killing for fun. What about from a child's point of view-Killing bambi. Its just too young and with all the violence that's going on in school these days it just worries me. Just knowing guns are in my home or at the cottage bothers me. Its just not something I want to encourage. If I lived on the farm or I had to do it to eat and live, well that's different I think.
