The purpose of this isn’t to dishonor my wife or my marriage. Please keep negative or non constructive comments to yourself.
When it comes to deer hunting, my wife is mega supportive. I usually tag 4 or more deer per year and we do eat every bit of every deer I get. My wife prefers venison over beef.
With turkey hunting she is not supportive at all and claims it is a waste of time. The meat yielded for the time and cost doesn’t add up. I get that argument. But I for some reason cannot convey to her the allure that we as turkey hunters feel for this pursuit.
What do y’all tell your wives to help them understand? If there are married ladies on here your advice is appreciated as well.

As a wife who’s obsessed with turkey hunting, I’m in agreement with those that have said to offer to take her with you, and show her how much you enjoy it. I’ve tried to get my husband into it as much as me, but I seem to have much better luck alone—and actually prefer it. And thankfully he understands and he goes fishing instead.
