My wife and i are going to a buddies place to deer hunt. Two other couples we know will be there with us each sitting in two man boxes. She isnt into hunting really, and will be probably knitting in the blind..... This is her first time to sit, and I will be with her. Any suggestions?

shes 26 and im 27 if that matters.

Maybe i'll get lucky

Only one reason to bring your wife to the blind

Wash your junk before you go.

Bring her and extra pair of binos if you have some. My wife always enjoys readying as well...

Make sure she has her own pair of binoculars and point out various wildlife you see. Tell her to bring a book or something, but make sure she takes in the natural beauty of her surroundings.

My fiance is a vegetarian and generally loves animals more than people. I took her out and warned her that I'd shoot a buck if I saw one I liked, and that she had to be prepared for that. She was fine with it, but kept claiming "team deer." She watched several doe and yearlings, and a couple of very young bucks came out. When a larger, much more "shootable" buck came out, she pointed to him and told me it was okay to shoot that one. I passed (he was a little young), but she was sort of pushing me to shoot him. She had buck fever, and couldn't believe I let him walk!

Bottom line: it was a great experience for both of us, and she really appreciated seeing the process and watching all of the critters in the quiet of nature. I tell everyone they should take their significant other at least once.

Don't let her drink anything the morning before you go or bring water/coffee to the blind. Otherwise she'll have to pee every 12 seconds.

Oh, and make sure you explain the "traditional ritual" of a first time in the blind with you. I mean, you'd be silly to pass up a long standing hunting tradition that, if broken, means nothing but bad luck for many years to come....

And if it is cold outside make sure she wears a union suit. You know, the one with the trap door in the back.

You should probably have her get a hunting license just in case.

Haha. Whatever you decide, you are expected to report back with how it went.

First time I took my girlfriend hunting with me we were sitting in a pop up along a creek

I can attest to the advice of not wearing coveralls. Last time that mistake was made.

Shortly after, she looks out and says, "Oh look a kitty cat." I'm obviously a little confused so I look out and 10 yards away running down the creek bank is a bobcat.

Don't get her liquored up. She will have to pee way too much.

If they suddenly are afraid of being around if a deer is shot, they will go out of their way to distract you....or so I've heard.

Protip: don't eat the usual deer camp grub and portions the night before. You may enjoy your own brand, but she won't. And then she won't want to do any cleaning around your hose bib If she already knows there's a gas leak behind it.

4. Have sex in blind floor
5. Who cares if you never shoot a deer that day
