My wife keeps trying to dig up excuses why I shouldn't be doing fun things.

So she had to buy onX to know where I was,,,
Had to attend church every sunday while on hunts,, The sherriff, Deputies and Ranchers all attended where I was hunting
Cell camera Had to wave when ever I walked buy


Ok two of them were my excuses,,,

She did get me a new( 9000 miles) pickup so I wouldn't have truck problems in the back country

But she also suggested I get a trailer with heat,,, so I could be gone out longer,,,,,,,,,,,

… you got to go full Doyle Hargraves and take control

… immediately

I see red flags!

Sounds like your on your first or second starter marriage....All part of life's cycle.

you may not have enough life insurance.

try increasing that and see if she needs more than a daily checking on the Garmin in reach

I had to look up Doyle,,, I may need to go Hargraves on a snowmobile to keep running high elevation traps


I think i can sweet talker her into an Arizona trapping license



I sometimes wonder,, is she trying to keep me around,, or keep me out of the way..
Killed my elk and spent 2 more days at campp,,, and got this why didnt you come home,,, but she also gave me a Costco Three pack of head lamps so I could walk around in the dark with our ne boar grizzly

She's establishing plausible deniability, building her defense, LOL.

My wife makes up the most BS excuses instead of telling me the real reason she doesn't want to do something. The other day we were in the woods and she was helping me put up a ladder stand. I had taken my tractor out and walked back, then we rode out together in the SxS (that she doesn't really like to drive). It's a bit of a rough go getting out there. When we were done I asked if she could take the SxS back and I would take the tractor. That would save me a walk back out for the tractor. She says no. OK. Then we start back in the SxS and she says the reason why is that she didn't know the way back through all the brush. I just smiled and said, "So you don't know how to follow the tractor?" She said, "just go." Busted with a BS excuse again.

Indeed.

If there's no kids, I wouldn't stay with a disagreeable woman any longer than necessary. There's lots of better ones out there. Why suffer a bad one?

Mine has more excuses then the Webster has words. And of course its all my fault. Then she wonders why im so secretive. Less she knows the better.
I've told her many times she could have a number best selling book. She didn't think that was funny.

I think this post went whoosh right over everyone's heads...... lol.

I aggravate mine enough that she looks for hunting and fishing trips to send me away on

Sage advice right there.

Next time she gets lippy ask her, "How's this supposed to work if you don't do what I tell you?"
Tell her the story about your buddy Randy's wife who has two black eyes. She's already been told twice. Some women just don't listen...

My wife and son say at age 80, I am too old to hunt alone. They are probably correct.

Do a reverse "check in" on her. Buy a "Bouncie Tracker" and put it in her vehicle, EASY plug in and only $10 per month. This is VERY accurate and goes to your cell!

Ive taken advantages of those BS excuses ,,, Monday we went to pull trail cams,,, She said she woulkd walk back from one road to the truck,,, It was down hill ,, sorta, 5 miles

Really I think there is a womens strategic playbook with excuses
