I've decided that since Tina has been such a good girl this year, I'm buying her a new Bass Boat, and a new Rifle.

Given that she loves to hunt and fish, you'd think she would be overjoyed with such generous gifts.

See, she likes the canoe she bought a few years ago. It reminds her of her youth in New England, and fits neatly in the garage. It also works to her advantage because she sits up front catching all the fish, while I paddle in the back. I figured what she really needs is something larger, more comfortable, and has a trolling motor. ;)

Who cares that we don't have a place to put it. :E Doh:

She figures we don't need any more rifles, but I disagree. She loves to go squirrel hunting in September, but she doesn't have a proper purpose built rifle for the job. Something say in a 17 caliber. Why should it matter that we have 2 gun safes and several closets full of other guns?

Change my mind. :D

My wife has FAR more firearms than I do... she'll never complain about me adding another one to her pile.. where I've started going more of a minimalist route the last few years and have tried to start consolidating calibers, culling the herd a bit, etc.. shes gone the exact opposite direction.. she wants one of everything lol..

She also loves jewelry... so Christmas is pretty easy around here.. if I cant come up with a gun or some sort of fishing idea, I just hit the tiffany website and find something in a teal blue box that she'll like..

As a last resort, if I cant figure out a hunting, fishing, or blue jewelry box solution... she also loves to travel.. I go book a 3 or 4 day get away somewhere that I know she'll like..
 
A classic . . .

I tried talking my wife into a new or used Corvette E-ray for Christmas because they are faster off the line and AWD for three season use here in Colorado. She needs a new car but she was having none of it!

And to think she accused me of just wanting it for her so I could drive it myself?!!? :LOL::A Secret:

You and I think alike. I’ve given my wife several pieces of Tiffany and she loves them. Pick a classic design and they are lifetime items.
 
She buys a thing and I buy a thing, for ourselves and it goes under the tree.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
