Thanks guys and ladies. Farewell to all.

Seems to me like this has nothing to do with a loss of interest for hunting and fishing, but rather a loss of interest in babysitting. I'm no therapist, but maybe it's time to revisit your relationship. Does this woman make you happy? Do you make her happy? Does she have any interests? What does she do with her time? Does she have a job?

She has had ample time to learn how to dress. If she dresses inappropriately and gets cold or wet then 3 things can happen.
1 - she will continue to get wet and cold. Not your problem.
2 - she will learn how to dress.
2 - she will stop coming.

I would not have your patience - unless she is smokin hot and then I would put up with it.

I have a very serious question or two for you ,.
When you get home , how much time do you actually devote to her after being gone for a couple of weeks ? maybe she is trying to tell you something ?
It seems that when you get home , it is all about you , you want to go hunting or fishing and your wife goes with you just to be near you and does not have that much interest in your hunting and fishing , but just to appease you goes along.

Maybe it is time to do some very serious thinking . ???????

Ok a quick reply to cover the bases.
Yes very tired of baby sitting, but worried sick she'll get sick, hurt, or worse if I don't and let the chips fall where they may. Then I would not have the woman I love deeply to go to dinners, movies, events with, work around the yard/house with, listen to her little purr of a snore when she tries to sleep with her chin on her chest. If she was not around who would I go to home Depot with to buy stuff for the house with, or go grocery shopping with, or make tea for, get a beer for, buy flowers for, build things for, fix things for.
Hot?? Well she keeps this old bull in the rut..��
Oh ya all most forgot.. Yes she works full time as an X-ray tech at the Hospital, has her ham radio license, face books with her/my family and our friends, works on her garden, has dinner with her friends from work or the ladies in the ham club, takes good care of the house, the dogs, the cats, and me.
Does that pretty much cover your questions?

+1; seek professional advice if you love your passion but don't want to lose your marriage partner

When we marry we take vows before God to "babysit" one another in one way or another.

"Problem ownership" would indicate that you own the problem(it affect/bothers you) and therefore it is up to you to fix or accept the "problem."

Sounds like a great wife and a weary husband. That will soon switch and she will have your back. Marriage works that way, so that one is always strong supporting the one that's temporarily lax , sick, etc.

The yoke will even up shortly and then she will be pulling you along life's path, complaining about you soon. It's called life. Do what it takes to make marriage work.

All the best to you two, sounds like a good family and God knows we need more good families in Canada.

Yes she is and yes I am..

As for me having to fix the problem.....started on that already. I returned her Chistmas gift I had bought her and am looking for something else.
She noticed she was not getting her Beretta over and under to go with the upland vest she got last year. She freaked out got very upset, but now we are having long phone chats and lots of email.
I have to thinks she's something special, I don't even have an O/U let alone a Beretta..

Still does not change my NOT HUNTING in Ontario. She has suggusted a couple weeks roaming around the top end of Quebec in the Nanunvic region.

The main reason for not hunting in Ontario is to get out with people I know and use to hunt with in places where there is real wilderness. Where some guide can not buy up the hunting rights to half the farm land in the county, or I don't have to drive 8 to 10 hours to find a real trail to walk for grouse.

I'm behind your decision 100%. Drop in from time to time to say hello. Good luck and great success to you and the Mrs.

well, that doesn't sound like you're done ;-)
that sounds more like what most of us thnk and want, but cannot get

Well let me just say this - some suggested you get professional advice - I agree and I'm going to give it to you for nothing - when you get down to it - from the beginning it was meant that women were not to do certain things - women aren't built to go hunting plain and simple - if they were they would have been made so that they have an easier way to take a leak in the bush -
