Have to agree with this as my vote. Wife & kids 1st any day of the week. Wive's (in general) will always complain about you leaving them, either for hunting camp or fishing trip, but the good ones know how much it means to you to go do those things. At the end of the day, they'd just rather be spending time with you than with out you.

without the tools they'd be screwed bigtime

Austin the real question is, why would a guy who goes to LSU want a girlfriend to begin with? That would be like locking yourself in prison with all the young CO-EDs prancing around in heat.

A friend I work with told me that without them tools, they would have went the same way as the Do Do bird many years ago.

Nice to see some real men stand up for thier brides..........

It took me two times yak.......but I realize now putting the wife and kids first will ALWAYS put you happy, regardless of how much I fish or hunt.

The last year of the first marraige I fished 48 weekends one year..............hateful over weight naggin woman....not sure what came first me fishing too much or her becoming a hateful overweith naggin waman, the line is blurry....I knew it was over when she dropped 70 pounds......happy days were to come for me I knew it.

The new bride of 10 years is smokin hot and after three days away from home doing ANYTHING I am ready to get back home.

It is easier to go fishing if she is a nagger.
If she is a good wife, it is easier to stay home with her.

At y'alls age it was an every weekend thing . Then the son came along and it got cut a little bit . Then the school and sports and scouting started ,It got cut a little more.
Then he started to want to go fishing so it picked back up again . Then he moved out. I got old , I wasn't mad at the fish no more .Now if i get to fish 4 times a year i'm doing great. But I can say the wife has never told me no you can't!

My Priorities: (everyone is different)
God
Family - Wife, kids, grand kids

Volleyball
Hunting
Fishing - I like fishing more than hunting but hunting opportunities are more limited.

My wife is very understanding, I fish 3 -4 times a week now that I am retired.
Fortunately, volleyball doesn't compete with fishing and hunting very much,
I play volleyball 2-3 times a week.

His ***** are in his wifes purse:*****::*****:

I bleed hunting and fishing, but my wife and kids come first. I have a wonderful wife that would rather me be hunting and fishing instead of some bar doing God knows what with God knows who.

im going to have to plead the 5th on this one.....

she lets me do what i want, but she's got her time with me also..

You'd better check yo self!
The title said HONEST men, pookie. I think you mighta misread somethin!

Well . . . coming up on forty years 19 Dec., She knew about the huntin'/fishin' part from the get go . . . I still tell her that she is the luckiest b . . . . in the world . . . She used to throw things at me but eventually she agreed . . .Time away from each other is invaluable . . . Time stops at those days of separation and starts anew when I come home . . we are both glad to see each other . . . and for each bag of fish I give her she gives me "special time" . . . . I quit giving her gallon bags of fillets, went to quarts, then to sandwich, and now it's snack size . . . I tell her it's due to decreased limits . . . all with the same results . . . that stuff sho' is rich, it don't take long to catch up . . .LOL . . .a lot of ups and downs and I wouldn't trade any thing for it . . . The Good Book says love the woman of your youth . . .

Great post

well I love duck huntin and fishing, but with my job as a directional driller my time is very limited...my wife understands and not very often does she ASK me not to go when I say Id like to make a hunt or fish when I get some days off. I just try to jugle my time as best I can with huntin/fishin and my family. So with as understanding as my wife is my family comes first because she doesnt ask for much just a little time...

you asked for honest men:work:

Care to guess how many sandwich bags? . . . .
 

LOL I love it when a plan comes together! . . . . .

For all you guys that have problems with the fishing/hunting issues. You can tell them that it would be just as easy for you to go to the clubs and chase HO's as it is for you to go hunting and fishing. That will normally shut up the young wives.

Based on my current relationship status, you should know my answer yak'em lol

I don't see why interested in men has anything to do with this bayoufx4
