Title: My Wife Filled The Freezer!
Post by: Dsturgisjr on November 14, 2007, 07:38:00 PM
Marie had a good early season even though she didn't get to hunt much. She started out with a doe and then shot this 5-point the next weekend.

the next weekend she shot this 8-point

She guts her own, but I'm getting tired of dragging for her.  :)

I don't think I would ask about cooking from a woman that can put meat on the table. Mike

Ferret, I agree - women are natural born killers.

Peak98, Marie submitted a couple articles to TBM for next year. I'll bet she will write about her season this year. She has a good story to tell.

Bill, Heck yes she can cook. I gained 40 pounds since I met her. She can clean, do laundry, cut grass, grocery shop, hold down a full time job and take care of 4 kids and a slug husband. LOL

Thanks everyone   :)

Congrats, Marie, on a great season.  I'm impressed with the time management this takes on top of all the other roles you described, Denny!  Great work.

I still remember enjoying Marie's segment on the Traditional Vision Quest video where she took a deer.  The wonder in her eyes and smile on her face were heart-warming!

Thanks for sharing the photos!

That's about as good as it gets.  Congrats!  My wife hunted with me for the first 10 yrs. we were married but after she shot her first deer it became her last.  She loves the meat as long as I'm the one bringing it home.

No wonder she's getting all the meat, look at the bow she is shooting  ;) . It's very apparent she knows how to operate that Widow. Very nice shooting.
