Yes my wife says its my time when go fishing. She will fish on the odd occasions, never on the ice. I try to convince her to come with me the odd time but no go. I try and ice fish 2 or 3 times a week.

As mentioned before its in our blood i was born to fish i love to fish I was raised to fish well before i met the better half.

Keep her at home get out and do the things you love to do. When she wants to go with you let her go .
Hope everything works out for the better.

BINGO !

For our 10 year wedding anniversary i took my wife on a bear hunt and she took the stand with me for 5 days! Flyes, Muskitos, 2 days of heavy rain, to and from stands by boat on very ruff water. We didn't even see a bear! Needless to say that its not a problem to leave her home anymore! lol

The problem is that she wants to go hunting and fishing, but she never does any of the work. If it was just another guy that I hunted with, then I would stop hunting with them. It is also not just about doing all the work, she needs to almost have me pick her clothes out for her. She over dresses all the time, but the last we where out with Alex, she was so under dress that she was sick for weeks afterwards. We all knew that there was going to be heavy rain, Wind and cold temps and dressed for the wet weather. I didn't find out till later that she was only wearing waders with just pants under them, a green rain shell and shirt on top and NO insulation at all.
There was no reason for her to have been cold and gotten sick, except she did not dress properly for the weather. It is not like she has not got any idea how to use her gear. We have gone out in all kinds of weather to test stuff. Snow storms, rain storms, heat cold and hiking , kayaking and snow shoeing.

At this point if I go hunting she wants to go, but I just can't deal with baby sitting her. I am also worried that I am going to miss something one day and she will get hurt or worse.

Been building a lot of Electronic projects Like Bi-directional Pulse Width Modulated motor controls, Geiger counters( Birthday gift for her), researching more projects, and selling off gear to pay for it.

When I first got married my wife would come out with me...be it once in a blue moon (hunting=walk in the bush along a trail and some fishing=mostly reading while I cast/look for fish) but now after all these years of marriage, she lost the desire but I haven't so she doesn't come but I keep going....

Sounds like you need some me time.... take her along once in a while, but make sure you go out without her too, that way you both win.

This sounds like an excuse to me. First you got her into hunting and fishing and now you don't want to do it anymore because she's lazy. Stop babying her an enjoy the outdoors together or alone. Whats next on the list to quite if this is your attitude. Anyways hope everything is good in your future take care.

Well, if nobody else is going to post this, I guess I have to.

Sounds pretty sexy to me,only j/King.
Get rid of the cotton and use wool garments and dress in thin layers. Back packs are a good place to store the different layers. You wanted to mentor your wife,so use common sence and help her learn. Maybe set some ground rules.

Been doing that for ten years now, and she still forgets her mittens in a snowstorm. She has all the layers from moisture wicking base layers to outer layers for wet and\or very cold weather. The problem with trying to help her learn and showing her what to do and what not to do is that she does not think she is doing anything wrong when she forgets her mittens.

Try being away from the house for 16 days, getting home at 10 PM Friday and having to spend that next eight hours collecting gear, loading it, doing the driving, setting up, and all well she sleeps or stands around watching. She has been home every night, but has never taken the time to get her personal gear ready, she plans to do that Saturday morning ten minutes before we need to leave.

Sounds more like you aren't into hunting and are using your wife as an excuse. The conversation should be hey I'm going hunting tomorrow would you like to go if so have your gear ready if not see you when I get back, it's not hard.
