Got a butt chewin' in the woods tonight....again.

Congrats to your wife her mother and mine must be the same first time I brought trout home she thew them at me and said "You kill em, you clean em". Where I hunt cellphones have no service 75% of the time last wednesday 2 buddies and I were chasin the wily whitetail we had jumped 2 does and a button in the morning so we put one man on the ridge and then we both commenced to swamp an tromp from about 3/4 mile towards him, me from the north and the other from the south, to see if we can get the old boy to move by kickin him out of bed, it's bucks only in this district this year and the tines have to be 3", we use radios to keep in contact and I'm talking to get the timing right when somebody says "we're hunting here and using this channel" this guy and his daughter were in stands hunting last light and we keep talking this guy gets all uptight so I tell to not get his panties in a knot sit tight and he or his daughter might get a shot at buck he gets even more over the edge and tells his daughter he's goin to the blackberry 10 min. later he's callin his daughter on the radio asking her if she got his text she says "daddy I have no service" he says "last time I come here can't even get cellphone service" wish there were more like him. How did we ever get this far in the scheme of things without cellphones? Oh well my rant is over tell your wife great job. Oh yeah when I asked my wife to marry me I said we would go pick out a ring together as she had said she wasn't turned on by diamonds she said "I'd rather have a new canoe" boy I'm thinking son you just made the right move LOL she thinks a canoe is for watching the sun set and the moon come up not for fishing, trapping or hunting maybe that is why she wanted a new canoe not one of my old ones.
 
For those who freuent hunting areas where cell service is spotty/dead, a 2-way radio with an earpiece works well. You can't go too far up here without losing reception and if you want to touch base with your hunting buddy every now and then, a 2-way with an earpiece is the way to go.



Disclaimer: In many states (Alaska included) it is illegal to use radios to drive or locate game, but is perfectly legal to keep in contact with your hunting party. Know your state's game laws and use common sense.
 
That woman's a keeper! Mine would have killed the whole pickup full and meticulously marked them on the GPS so I could find them in the dark.
 
Nah.....Its the woods, its hunting, not texting and such. If she had to field dress and drag the game, so much the better. Sorry, but I dont think hunting is room service. If you were onsite and refused to help, that would be something else altogether. I raised three daughters that hunt, and the only time that they need help is if the game is just too large for them to move by themselves. If you want to put your cell phone on vibrate, then thats your option. I am not trying to be obnoxious about it, but I am sure that she learned a few things and is now a better hunter for it.
 
best way of communication is a 2 way radio. agree with ur hunting buddy to turn it on every half hour or hour for a few mins. that way if there is an emergency or they need to make contact, they can.

I personally think she over reacted.
 
This is one of the reasons I refuse to own a cell phone.When I'm in the woods I'm unavailable....period.I want to be left alone....period.The only time I need to know is day time and night time.Day time is hunting time and night time is time to go home.They just don't understand that 5 days a week I am tied to a desk,phone with 10 extensions,computer and a nextel.On my day off I want silence,peace,serenity,a little time to myself.I hear "What if you fall and get hurt?" "What if.......???" My response is if I get in trouble and can't get myself out of it I guess I will still be there when they come to find me.I don't mean to sound stupid but dying in the woods would be o.k. with me,laying in a hospital hooked up to machines would be the absolute worst.If it's my time and I'm doing the thing that I enjoy most I'm good with that,I couldn't plan a better way to go.

By the way a woman who will shoot,drag,and gut her own animals is just plain HOT!!!! I've never much cared for those "barbie" type girls afraid to get dirty.
 
Danm, She is fine and I'm glad she's not mine. Friendly advise, don't **** her off and take a nap. You might end up with Phil Hartman Disase.
 
Lee that was my initial thought too...
But in the county I live, you need 3 brands of service to get decent coverage:eek: Southern link has good coverage for the ag areas so we often have service in the surrounding woods... The Eglin AFB WMA has on again off again coverage...

The area we hunt actually has some dead areas but as I don't think to fast the cat was already out of the bag that I had the phone off before the idea of telling her I had "no service" ever crossed my small brain.

Right now we're actually getting ready to go have a look at how much the water came up out there and then go for a couple of hours walk. Figure that the animals might take to moving a bit as the rain quits and it clears some.

Women will surprise you....

I remember back in 1978 we had been married for about two months. Went to her grandma's house to do some squirrel hunting. Came back home with about 6 of em.... walked in the door laid my shotgun to the side and took the squirrels out of the back of my hunting vest.

She took them out of my hand and asked me if I would like them cleaned and she would cook up a pot of squirrel and dumplings. I was so shocked because most women her age would have screamed at the sight of dead squirrels.

still married to her :)
