Welp took the lady to go pay on her dress and she suggested we go to bass pro to look around.. next thing you know she's taking about gardens, and aquaponics , and ,green houses ,and canning ,asking how much meat you can off a deer to save money on groceries if she can bring a book to a deer stand saying she's probably going to end up likeing hog hunting more because their not as cute as deer annnnddd she's taken a liking to crossbows laugh....think we skipped over some stuff.... .22lr air rifle .20ga aannnnnd crossbow ? Don't think that sounds right laugh

Buy her a tiller. Canner jars and lids. Spring aint far off.

Don't know current status, but BPS in Clinton MO used to have a bridal registry sign on the door. Any lady that would go for that would be a winner in my book.

Boy chases girl until she catches him.

Get married now while you're young and dumb Wolfdog. Once you get older and figure out all these tricks of women, marriage just won't make nearly as much sense as it does now.

Good for you Wolfdog91! My wife and I have more of an opposites attract relationship. In fact I believe the only thing I have found, so far, we have in common is our six daughters! lol In all serious though keep the momentum going and get her into the outdoors.

Take it from me, Wolfie! You find a good one, marry her. There will be ups and downs but it sounds like you are starting on a good foundation.

I took my wife to Bass Pro in Ft. Myers's Fl. The other day. I think I found where all the firearms are. The one we have in Springfield Oregon the gun counter is about empty, they have a few but nothing like here. We bought a couple shirts that was it. I found when they first opened in Oregon I had to order in anything I wanted the store didn’t carry most stuff I liked. That was Cabelas before the sellout. My wife had a Cabelas credit card before we got together, we don’t leave much of a balance on it but it’s there.

congrats you seem to have found a goodone

cross bows are for fitting in state regs in my opinion like in WI Sept 15th to January archery season and 9 days of gun
if we had 60 days of gun xbows would probably be a lot less popular.

a gun is a LOT cheaper xbows cost as much or more than a decent gun and fire $15-30 projectiles that once you shoot a deer may not be re-useable

she has a 22
a shotgun makes sense ever one need one good one that fits them
maybe set up your 243 for her to use
then she is all set unless she takes a liking to a different gun

yes you can take a book to the deer stand but the phone needs to stay put away and you need to look around at the bottom of every page.
no headphones

gardening start smaller than you want too, because weeds get the better of you too often when you start big

meat per deer varies but about 1/4 of the weight of it standing.

Yeah I told her when I get one her and my little brother will have to share lol because he's been on me about getting home one. Gotta say she's pretty excited now that she knows the 3/4 garden plot behind my uncle's house is free to plant along with the little orchard

One good thing is let her shoot your bothers so she can see if she likes it.

Wolfie, just a couple years ago small rifle primers were not to be found. You need to stock up on both. Or cases of factory ammo.

just get some small primer 234 brass , less expensive than changing guns if it works well
