Don't you think it is about time to tie the knot with her. 33 years is a long time to keep her waiting.I hunted solo most of the time until I met my future wife in 1988. Since then, it’s been she and I on all but a very few hunts! We don’t hunt nearly as hard as we used to......age has a way of reducing the distance you cover and the height of the ridges you climb! memtb
Boy is that so true about age.I hunted solo most of the time until I met my future wife in 1988. Since then, it’s been she and I on all but a very few hunts!

I didn’t do well with HS English and Grammar! So.....we’ve hunted as a married couple since February ‘91! memtbDon't you think it is about time to tie the knot with her. 33 years is a long time to keep her waiting.
When I was much younger I had some of those fears. Then about 20 years ago all those worries went away. If I am going to depart this world it would be best to happen doing something I love so much. Plus it would give all the people something to remember me by. "You know ole Mark don't you". "Yep". "Did you hear he got ate by a mountain lion".I used to hunt with a couple of folks. Anytime I helped them with their tags, I would give my opinion when asked and sometimes when I wasn't asked. But, when it came to my tags, I would ask opinions and always get the answer "I don't know, its your tag". After a few years of this I didn't ask for them to go, just went solo. Solo hunting scared the shit out of me as I have never hunted solo prior to that. Hell, to this day, the first day hunting solo I just know I am being stalked by a 325 pound mountain lion. Hear a noise in the distance and know death is imminent. Haha, but by day 2 all worries are lost. Just recently I have had other folks ask to go or wanted to camp together. I still hunted solo this past archery elk season, but accepted 2 different requests during the archery deer season. I will always plan on hunting solo, but will be open to assistance, or minimally, share a camp. It is nice to have someone to discuss the days events with.
