I’m not a shopper. I don’t like shopping. I don’t have that female gene. If I could order everything online I would. Including my groceries. If I could pay someone to do all my running, I would.
My hunter, on the other hand, is another story. I think he has that female gene. He will spend hours shopping. We will spend hours at Cabelas looking at the same stuff over and over.
Mark: Do you like this hat or that one?
Jody: Well which one will keep you warmer?
Mark: Well this one but it’s twice as much.
Jody: Well just buy that one if it’s warmer.
Mark: How about this one?
Jody: Huh? (Does this hat make my head look big? It’s a hat for goodness sake. We’ve been standing here for an hour.)
Mark: Well I’m not sure. Let’s go back and look at the gun case again while I make a decision.
Jody: Oh &^*&^
Time for me to walk away before this slips out, “For the love of hunting, pick a ^&*&ing camo hat already. My gosh. It’s a hat. It’s a furry little hat to cover that bald spot of yours on the back of your head that you probably didn’t know you have and now you do.”
So it’s best I ignore it and casually sneak away to another aisle.
Or maybe I should be like the old guy that drops his wife off at the door and waits in the car smoking a cigar, napping.
Or maybe Cabelas needs a wives lounge.
Drinks on The Hunter’s Wife.
I wonder if Cabelas would let me set up a wives booth outdoors like their kettle corn vendor? I could have a big fire pit, make smores, and ummm … spike drinks … I mean have coffee. I think wives of hunters would enjoy that.
But for now I’ll stick to hiding out in deer blinds and …
To be continued … Friday … with a picture.
Have a good day all … and Happy Birthday to our Marines … May God Bless You All!

A wives’ lounge, huh? That might not be a bad idea. My wife doesn’t need it – she enjoys shopping there as much as I do – but I could see it being a hit.
The bad thing is I am the one who can’t make my mind up!!!
Arthur, I think it would be.
Alisha, then your husband can come sit in the pit with us wives.
If you’re talking Cabelas, I’m a shopper too!
LOVE the wives’ lounge area. I’d go, even though I’d shop too…
I like Cabela’s – but shopping with my husband? Now that gets irritating – because he can’t make a decision.
Bonneville, most of my readers are probably shoppers.
NorCal, it is a good idea. Don’t you have connections you little Cazadora wader you.
Blessed, I need video next time. Makes me crazy!
Cabela’s is a fun place to wander aimlessly from aisle to aisle just to see what’s on the next shelf. When I get tired of doin’ that it’s time to leave…whether I buy anything or not.
I shop and anymore what I want and need isn’t being made for women yet.
The pit w/ drinks sound s wonderful!
OMG I hate shopping! I like to go to Cabela’s, a mall, a store, go in and get out. The hubby in my house loves to linger in the aisles–whether it be Cabela’s or Home Depot. The men wonder around like deer in head lights… (and all the while saying how much they hate shopping) I can’t figure it out, nor do I reeealy think I want to.
I love shopping at Cabelas but I would definately pick up a “coffee” on the way by!
I hate shopping also, I love the idea of a wives lounge. I am with you it takes Jeff along time to decide on items also and I do most of the time wait in the truck.
