Well my wife did it again!!! This weekend the weather was perfect for hunting in WI. My wife and I hunted together Saturday and had a great day. She couldn't hunt Sunday morning because of her master's program but at 11AM she text me and said she was going solo to a different property than I was on and would text me when she was in her stand. At 12:45 she text me that she was in her stand and ready for the afternoon sit. Within minutes she had does passing by and even had a little buck push a doe. She text me and said she needed to focus and would text when she was at her car after the hunt. After 2.5 hours, I got a text that I had to decode but it said, "just shot a nice buck." We talked on the phone and I told her to give it 30 minutes and go look at the arrow and meet me at the car in 45 minutes. I hurried as fast as I could from my hunting location to go help her. As I was driving, I had no cell coverage for the first 20 minutes. As I got service, my phone lit up with pictures of a dead buck. She went to the arrow, saw great blood and started tracking solo. She went 60 yards and found her buck. When I got to her car, she was unpacking and all smiles. She was so proud of herself for picking the tree to sit in and doing it all solo. The last time she sat in that stand was last year and she killed another 9 pointer.
I guess all I'm good for is setting stands, taking pictures, gutting and dragging!!!!!
Defiantly a proud husband moment. She has been hunting with me for 9 years and we have gone from sitting in the same tree together to her going solo. I'm confident in her abilities and decisions she makes in the woods. She's is a damn good hunter.

I think this is just awesome. My wife went to the woods with me only a few times very early on 25 years ago, but never really had any interest. Great that you both share the same passion. Congratulations to you both!

Congratulations to you both, that is awesome. MY wife never hunted, fired a gun anything until we met, now she loves it and all that goes into managing our land.

Congrats to your wife, It's great to have a child, wife or significant other who hunts with you. When they score there is often that feeling of pride for what they've accomplished and what you may have contributed to their success.
Next step: she'll be offering YOU suggestions on how and when to hunt and where to set up.

Congratulations to your wife on a fine buck. I don't know why, but in 2013 while hunting in South Dakota, my wife asked me for the knife just as I was going to start field dressing a buck I killed and has been doing it ever since when possible. She claims it is because she is faster at it. I'm not complaining.

I remember way back when you were trying to decide if to buy.Glad you did and tell her she can do the gutless method. I don't even gut them anymore and when I was processing I could gut one in about 40 seconds if we were racing and it was warm with someone holding a leg.
