This is the time of the season to thank our spouses for being patient while we were out hunting. Mine looked after the kids night after night and came home early from work. Our neighbour baby sat so I could sneak off in time to hunt while the wife was on her way home from work. Also it's the time to thank the land owners-not next season when we are trying to get permission again.

Good post, Chef. Though I don't need spousal permission to run off hunting! I do have a small lease and I will do something special for the land owner. Thanks for the reminder.

Chef: Actually I'm taking my wife bowhunting for exotics and hogs in Texas, leaving tomorrow.

Have a good trip!!! you should be packing not hanging out in here. Now get to work....don't forget your arrows.
