    Well Bob, 
    
    It is really worse than that. Not only will you feel like crap for
    blowing off opening day/ or anniversary every year, but a large 
    hunk of this years season is gone.  You forgot to mention the 
    honeymoon, this usually takes a week or so, then all the other
    newly married things that have to occur. THis should pretty much
    fill up a month if you are lucky.
    
    --Bob
    

    oh you foolish little man... ;^)
    
    you can kiss this season goodbye, what with the wedding and the
    honeymoon and all the other things you have to do when you return, your
    pretty much hosed!
    
    Don't worry, however, there is still hope for you... it could be worse,
    she could be delivering a baby during that time of year...  so plan 
    accordingly in Feb/Mar, next time she says she wants to snuggle up,
    lest you be handing out cigars instead of venison...  
    
    ;^)
    
    good luck,   Fra                                    

     And don't forget that every couple of years you'll have to fore go
    at least the first week cause wifeypoo will want to do something
    special like go to WalleyWorld.  
    
    Jeff (just trying to help)

     I'm glad I'm not one of your hunting buddies.... Their day will be
    shot as well if you invite them to the wedding.
    
    Bob (also trying to help ;^) )
    

    
    Wow Bob, Whew!!!!  I'm glad I'm not in your shoes  :')  As a matter of
    fact, let me tell you that when my wife and I got married, we (I) made 
    sure that we were back from the Honeymoon before the opening of 
    Bow season in early Oct.  But if your seasons are anything like ours,
    then Oct 19th is the Xth Saturday in the month, so that it means it
    won't always fall on your aniversary!!
    
    		Also, In planning a family....  Our first is Due in
    early July (way away from the fall).  My wife thinks I'm a fanatic,
    but lucky for me she's pretty easy going....  
    
    	You could always celebrate your anniversary a week early 
    
    	ONe year will be shot, but maybe not the rest...  Might as well
    relax and enjoy it (and take the ribbing from everyone :')  ).
    
    
    Best wishes, Rob
    

    Yea and every year the money you had socked away for that new rifle,
    or hunting coat, or..... will end up going towards a nice anniversary
    present!
    
    I guess the most constructive comment I can make is maybe you should
    consider taking up fishing :-)))
    
    Mark (just trying to help some more)
    

    And don't forget the pre-nuptual agreement... you hunt and thats that!
    better to get the shit out in the open up front.... before she attachs
    the ball... ;^)
    
    These are all good tips... and we have many more, just ask! ;^)
    
    congrats,  Fra
    

    Confession time...  My "planning isn't exactly perfect either.  My
    son was born Nov 27, right in the middle of bird and NY deer season.
    Kate, my daughter, was born on Dec.30(tax deduction, more money back=
    new gun for Dad), which didn't help goose season.  I figured that by
    now I had this figured out. So I mad sure that the third one would not
    be due during hunting season.  The third is due May 9, the first week
    of turkey season in NY.  So don't feel bad.  
    
    "A not tonight dear, nine months from now chuck season opens, Goodnight"
    
 Jeff

 Wow- you really blew it. Of course, that won't keep us from ribbing you for
it. Maybe you ought to consider moving to a state where the season opens up
the first week opf november. :-)

    I hear its pretty hard to track deer while you're dragging around the
    ball and chain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
    
    won't that ring thru your nose get in the way of the bolt/slide?
    
    Sorry! couldn't resist. If you discuss it up front with her she will
    understand later. and most of the time you should not ahve a conflict
    but I think you may suffer from some guilt going hunting soooo close
    to the anniversary that your wife will probably be getting things like
    diamonds or better yet when your anniversary falls on opening day
    take her out hunting with you. Think of those cold autumn nights.
    
    Congrats on getting hitched!

    When "we" were planning "our" wedding the plans were for a 3 week
    honeymoon. So my wife said since we are going someplace warm why
    don't we go in October. When I looked at the calendar I said no way
    there is to much time lossed to hunting season. But if you want to go
    at that time of the year lets change the location to Alaska and I can
    get some hunting in at the same time. Well needless to say the date was
    changed to June and we went to Hawaii, I did ask about hunting seasons
    on the islands but none were open. But I did charter a boat and go for
    Blue Marlin. Now this year there are two weddings scheduled 11/9 &
    11/16 that my is also a bridesmaid in both. When she found out the
    dates the first thing she said to the couples was "I'll be there but
    Guy is usually in Canada hunting on those dates so I don't think he
    will be there". So as Fra mentioned set it straight up front and no one
    will be disappointed later on.
    
                                                   Thanks "Dear",
    
                                                       Guy
    

    I also have a confession to make, my oldest was born November 7th...
    and almost every year, either bow or rifle, someone is getting married.
    and I'm "inclined" to go, lest I be in deep sneakers otherwise... Can't
    tell you how many openers i've missed in VT over the last 14 years...
    
    But I must admit, it's paid off in the long run.... now when the
    seasons are here, a week or 2 hunting is not a problem whatsoever!
    I think i'll keep her!
    
    Fra

    Well I have told her from the very beginning that I am commited to deer
    hunting.  I told her since we were getting married opening day, and my
    best friend deer hunting buddy was to be a groomsmen, and that the
    honeymoon is going to kill the first doe day weekend, she was going to
    have to buy me a new hunting rifle with a ultra expensive scope.  She
    said yes.  I also told her, that soon as we get back from the honeymoon
    on a friday, that night I was going deer hunting for the weekend.  She
    had a fit.  I told her,"Hey, do you want me in the woods for the
    weekend, or do you want me at home bitchin cause all my friends are in
    the woods and I am here?"  She said, go to the woods.  That way she can
    start putting that "womans" touch to the cave.  She knows I am a deer
    hunter, and I told her when deer season is over the first of January,
    it's trout season.  Then it's golf, then it's football.  Her reply was,
    "Every weekend, like HELL!!"  So I said,"Well, ok twice a month except
    for deer season.  For deer season, three weekends a month."
    I told her she was my first passion, and deer hunting was my second.
    Guess what, she bought it!!!

    MAN, maybe I should just put on a tan jacket, white gloves, and a
    moosehead cap and skip through the woods opening day and put myself out
    of my mysery.  I hope this is all ribbin, but geez, that's all Ive
    heard, maybe I should just skip town.
    
    Mr. X.(until I find a new identity)
    
    Do they have deer in Jamaica, or just dear?
    

    	
    	Get her interesting in hunting in a hurry!  Perhaps a day of so of
    	your honny moon should be spent in the woods.  This would at least
    	let her know it is important to you.
    
    	Remember what the drill sargent used to say though,  I will start
    	it.  " This is my riffle ____________________________. "   Don't
    	forget!  (joke).
    
    	Of course you always could hunt or move to another state with a
    	November season.  Good Luck I say with a smile!

    re: .17
    
    Get your wife interested... That's what my husband did!  I got tired of
    being left behind all of the time.... I've always loved the outdoors, I
    just never hunted before... I took my hunter safety class, my hubby
    taught me to shoot and is still teaching my the fine art of hunting!
    
    Proud to say that this will be my second year of deer hunting and I
    LOVE IT!
    
    Christine (who is not considered by her husband as a "ball and chain"!)
    
    

	You have a sister by any chance Christine? :-)

    re: -.1
    
    Yea, I got a sister, however, she's married and having her 3rd and last
    baby in about a week!  ;*)
    
    Christine (who is gonna come home with a buck this year!!!)
    

    re a few back.  My hnting season goes from 10-18-91 through the new
    year.  They also increased the limit of deer by firearm from 3 to 5.
    I get back from the honeymoon on a Friday, take my new hunting rifle to
    the woods, while the better half starts doing that woman thing to our
    house, which used to be my cave.
    
    bob (I will try and get her into hunting) 
    

    bob -
    
    It shouldn't take her to long.... I've only been married 2 years and
    this will be my second year going....
    
    Besides, now, when he talks hunting, I understand what the heck he's
    talking about.... It's fun to hunt together.
    
    See ya' & good luck
    
    Christine

    Wow! I just got the 91-92 hunting regs, and firearms season opens on
    10-26, not 10-19.  The weekend following the opener is doe day weekend.
    Well, since I will be in Jamaica for honeymoon on opening day, I can
    still make doe day weekend.  No problem mon!  At least there is bow
    season 39 days away.
