634.0. "Got a couple of ???" by GUCCI::CBAUER (Why Me???) Fri Apr 06 1990 14:54

    Hi.
    I'm a new noter and a beginner hunter. My husband is the expert
    hunter. This is a great conference! I will admit however, that before
    I met my husband I was one of those terrible people who thought
    hunting was mean and that hunters just wanted to go blow away bambi
    for no reason.  I am proud to say that he enlightened me on the
    sport of hunting and firearms. I went "hunting" with him on the
    opening day of doe season last year to see what it was really like
    out there (I only took a camera though). I must say that I did enjoy
    myself. I always have enjoyed the outdoors i.e. fishing camping
    etc..  I decided to take an interest in the sport because I realized
    that if I ever wanted to see my husband during hunting season I
    was going to have to take up the sport in some sense. (We've only
    been married for 1 year on April 15, 1990). And we enjoy doing things
    together and it gives us something we can discuss.
    
    What I was wondering is...1. Are there any female hunters and/or
    husband/wife type out there,I don't seem to meet up with any of them.  
    We live in Maryland (near Baltimore) and he usually hunts in western
    Maryland).  2. We often discuss maybe one day going out west on
    a big game hunt. I've heard this can be quite expensive. I thought
    going for Moose would be fun. (I also heard that Moose makes for
    some great eatin'.
    
    I suppose I've taken up enough space, Any replies???

	Christine,

	Welcome to hunting and congrads on wanting to share your husband's
	interests.   My wife hunts antelope with me and has gotten one each of
	the two times I've taken her.  She has hunted deer and elk but does not
	care for the cold we have that time of year.  To give you an idea of
	just license costs in Colo, non-res deer 120.00, elk 210.00, and
	antelope 120.00.  These are lasts years fees, I know they are going
	up again.  Your other expenses would be your food and gas to get here
	and while hunting.  Depending on how you prefer to camp will determine
	that expense.  Good luck to you.

634.2Cooks notes ResponseWFOVX5::KEYWORTHMon Apr 09 1990 13:5611
    Welcome Christine,
    
    I saw your note in the cooking notes file. Look under note 
    316 for some ideas on cooking game. I tried to send you mail directly
    but couldn't connect to node GUCCI for some reason.
    
    My only comment on cooking venison is not to over cook it. It dries
    out too much (shoe leather, Yuck).
    
    Have fun,
    John

    Christine, 
    
       I've been hunting and fishing for years, now bring six-year-old twin 
    boys fishing with me.  Welcome to the sport.  
    
       My husband used to fish more but he enjoys hunting the best.  We go 
    together, but in the woods each go our own way; just inform the other 
    where we'll be.  
    
       If we're fortunate enough to have our sons with us or one of the 
    daughters who likes sports we each have a companion to walk with. These  
    are precious times for us; whether we come away empty-handed or with 
    something to cook makes no difference.  
    
       You won't be sorry that you chose to find out the fun in doing what 
    he likes to do rather than stay home and wait.

634.6I know what ya mean...GUCCI::CBAUERWhy Me???Mon Apr 16 1990 11:4310
    Nancy - 
    
    You're right, staying at home is nooooooo fun at all. It's definatly
    better than staying home and sulking and getting angry that he's
    not home.  Granted, sometimes I do stay home to get housework and
    stuff done, somebody's got to do it :(  Recently my husband is taking
    up fishing as well, but hunting is his first love.
    
    Thanks for the input. I'll be talking to ya.
    Christine
