How I Might Ruin The Hunter’s Wife Reputation

Posted by Jane Keller on March 12, 2010 · Leave a Comment

I have a reputation to uphold around here – I don’t go in the woods, I don’t pack heat and I don’t know the proper way to hold a bow. This one time at Cabelas, out of boredom, I picked up a bow like I was some hot outdoor chick scanning the woods to smack a critter when my husband turned around and said, “Jody you’re holding that backwards.”

And he went about his business while I stood there for an hour trying to figure the darn thing out. In case you’re wondering, we had the same conversation last weekend.

If you’ve been reading my blog for any amount of time you know I have a fear of a squirrel attack. Just as I step foot in the woods I know one of those flying trapeze of a squirrel with find it’s way in my hair. Because I have big comfy nest hair for squirrels.

So when I read about Indiana B.O.W. – Becoming An Outdoors Women on the Women’s Outdoor News I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for me to … well … maybe … just … read about it.

That’s all I’m doing.

Just gathering information.

It’s about 2 hours from our house and about 30 minutes from our river house. (Oh deer)
The cost is only $175 from Friday to Sunday. (I can afford that.)
It’s in the woods. (Blair Witch.)
You sleep in barracks or a tent. (Friday the 13th made me sleep on the floor til I was 18.)

I’ll write more about the details next week. It sounds like a very affordable exciting weekend for any female looking to learn more about the outdoors.

But what would it do to me? My blog would never be the same. Next thing you know I’ll be wanting to wear camouflage on my date night like I yell at my husband for. Or competing at some clay sporting shot ‘em up. Or having a camera crew follow me around in the woods. That would make great footage … squirrel attack.

My non wearin’ camouflage painted nails hunter’s wife reputation will be ruined.

Because I know me … I cave to peer pressure and I’m very competitive. My blog would change to smack em attack em and rack em.

What do you all think?

Have a great day … maybe I could go there as a reporter or the entertainment. And stay at the local spa hotel.
