Hi ;D I'm new to this forum; but, not to forums the more the merrier I always say. You can thank DaveHawk for sending my husband and myself here.
This will actually be my first real attempt at deer hunting. Scarry thought I know . I've got the jewlry to match the camo now all I need is the orange camo and I'm set, right? lol
O' yeah and I need to learn how to properly use my firearm my husband says why are men so bossy? lol Actually, the thought of shooting myself in the foot does not sound like an entertaining way to spend my time.
Well, wish me wisdom and my husband (falconissore) lots of patience.
Cherity

It seems to always happen that the wife gets the big buck, so Doug if she dose help her out all you can, Isn't that what we are supposed to do LOL. But I would let her do all the dressing of the deer. Don't forget the camra and gloves. Maybe a barf bag LOL

Thank you Kentucky and trust me I will be doing my best to get the biggest buck not only proving how quickly I can learn but how much better I am then my husband, little brothers and sister and her family lol. Have I mentioned that I come from and have married into very competative stock?
I'm actually looking forward to spending this time one on one with my husband. I hardly doubt during target practice that he would laugh at a woman carrying a rifle. lmbo

And here I thought you were my friend. Dress my own deer? your joking right? There are several reasons I went ahead and married the Big guy I don't like mowing, I don't like scooping snow, I don't know how to check my oil and water and I hate killing spiders I'm sure you understand that I have much more influence over who will eventually end up dressing my deer. The right promises at the right time have always worked for me, its my carry thru that sucks ;)lmbo
The barf bag was also un-called for and totally sexist . I work in long term care and have for the last 14 years. I have seen a woman fall and tear the skin from her forhead exposing her skull. I have had a man fall and hit his head so hard we had to look for a chunk of his skull which I found and held until the unit arrived, I have also seen a woman fall and break her leg shoving the thigh bone out of her skin with blood pouring out everywhere, I clean and touch things everyday that the average male would vomit with the mere thought of touching. So, for future reference I can be just as disgusting and gross as any other male in this forum. ;D
I choose to not gut my own deer out of fear of losing my wedding band in the process (mmmm Yeh!!! thats it, thats my story and I'm sticking to it ) as my husband did in the past *looks accusingly at Douglas*.

The hunter safety courses are an excellent way of getting a foundation towards hunting safely and responsibly. I just took one as certification was required for one of the parks I want to draw on. I think it should be a requirement for all hunters. You'll walk away with respect for the firearm and respect for the hunt and you will enter this endeavor with much more confidence.

Buckfever, your right about taking the hunters saftey course. Here in WV, I think it is setup that if you were born after 1971 or 75 you have to take the course before you can even buy a hunting license. When my son was old enough to have his license, I signed him up for a class. I took him on the day of the course and walked in with him. The instructor asked if I was taking the course, of course I said no, I have been hunting for 24 years and that I was born in 1960, I didn't need the course. Of course he replied, "Are you ever going to hunt out of state?" I said well you never know. Then he told me that in some states you have to have had a hunters safety course to get a non-resident license. If you didn't have one then you had to take a course right there and then to get it. So I went ahead and took the course and I am glad I did. One thing aboutg taking the course was, I was there with my son going through it with him. I know that made him feel better. I did learn some interesting stuff and when it came to hands on gun training I was my sons partner. Now I have my hunters saftey course card, so if I ever decide to go out of state I am prepared.

My son and husband just got done with the hunter safety course. They had a bet on who could get the highest score of course it was the Big guy but the little guy wasn't far behind. Since I wasn't seriously considering hunting at the time I did not take the course and don't really want to take it either. I don't need to take it since I'm grandfathered in but I suppose if I'm going to set a good example I had probably better at least make an effort; maybe, I can drag my daughter along so I don't have to go alone.

I know that it is a time commitment, but I think you would be suroprised by how much you get out of the program. Plus since you have hunters in your family, it will give you the education to make sure they're doing it right.

You haven't read many of my posts in the other forum obviously. Life IS fun and I love to punch back so punch away I can take it and dish it. I have way too many men in my life to take anything personally. ;D
And I'm still NOT dressing my own deer unless I can put it in a pink tutu for picture's that might be kinda cute.

But, now if I can bribe my daughter into going it will look like I'm doing the mother/daughter thing. Where there is a will there is a way. Besides, it would be kinda interesting to see just how many things my husband, son, father and brother's do that could put their life or someone else's in jeapordy and even funner to correct them though I'll make sure to wait until they are no longer carrying a loaded weapon.

I don't think you will have to worry about being the oldest student there. When I went with my son I was supprised at the adults that I did see there. I was 40 years old at that time. Some were with their sons or daughters, but I was impressed to see so many taking the course. If nothing else it is educational. Gives someone a better understanding of guns, animals and hunting altogether.
I would say go for it anyway if you can't get your daughter talked into it.
