PREGNANT or Hunt?

[idnative1948]

Do you younger folks who still procreate, plan around your hunting seasons, or do you just wing it and hope for the best.
Reason I am asking is just found out that one of our guys is due on October 3rd. His response when instead of congratulations we said, WTF were you thinking?

"Oh, I totally spaced out on that. Oh geez, my father-in-law is going to be on my back also."

Let's just say I have 6 kids and not one of them was born during any hunting seasons. I don't do weddings during hunting seasons either, but hey that's just me.

WTF were you thinking?

I guarantee he wasn't...

 

[idnative1948]

I hear you.
My brother and I have been hunting for 50-odd years and have never missed a season. Missed a cousin's funeral last October, but his family totally understood and they were out the next weekend.

That's why me and my girlfriend are waiting until July to get married...lol

It is called planning ahead, I don't do weddings or any other type of party during hunting season either.
but that is me.

I don't see a problem general season doesn't start until the 10th...

My birthday is October 29th, some of my favorite birthdays were at elk camp.

The best things in life can be surprises! I'm sure all the dads would say it doesn't matter, there will be other hunting seasons. I know I would trade a birth for a hunting trip, but agree that it's best to do both! Plus a new baby doesn't eat up an entire hunting season if the mother knew what she was getting when she married him. I bet he will still get to hunt some.

I married during the rut the first time... this time it will be in August! Weddings can be planned easier than children.

Like an old sailor acquaintance once told me; "You have to be there for the laying of the keel, but you don't have to be there for the launching".

 

[ERMINE]

If I had to choose I wouldn't. We have one on the way due in May and a birthday in August. The anniversary is February. In my opinion its better left unsaid, I just give a little input to steer us in the right direction and try to make things work this way.

 

[ID_deerslayer]

I am recently married and we agreed that the best option was to plan all attempts at making a baby in the off season and so far we are doing well. February through May or June is our goal for when our children will be born. But God may have something different in mind!

Some dumba55 went and put Valentine's day right in the wrong spot.

 

[Timberhawk]

I went with the, "be happy with what comes your way" mentality as opposed to planning things around hunting seasons. I watched too many of my friends try for months/years to get pregnant... That said, now I have two kids and the wife's birthday in November right in the middle of the rut in Minnesota, so I feel like I lose some credibility there.

I feel sorry for the guy that needs a holiday to get lucky.

 

[idnative1948]

I don't either, but who is going to stay in camp and wipe the big brother's bum? Not this one!
I am finished, done, done and DONE. Gawd forbid, I would rather be in my armpits in gutshot than a dirty diaper, but that is only me.....

I don't see a problem general season doesn't start until the 10th...

 

[AustinL]

We have two kids neither one was supposed to be born during hunting season but our little girl had other plans and came 11 weeks early. Right smack in the middle of hunting season

 

[idnative1948]

Nope! You just have your priorities in line and I have to give you credit.
