I am on a lease with 3 others. Every year one of the other guys brings his wife and dog to camp opening weekend. The dog, a "house Dog" jumps on and lays all over my stuff and is basically a barking machine. The wife is hyper and when ever you come in to the bunk house to take a mid day nap she's up talking and making a bunch of noise and crap because she don't "Get up early" to hunt. What y'all think I should do? Isn't there some sort of unwritten rule that you don't bring guest to deer camp opening weekend? Does anyone else have this problem or am I the only one?

It's always been a rule in any camp I've been in, only paying members on opening weekend, but if y'all haven't discussed it you gotta stick it out or move.

You can always cook and eat the yappy dog. Dog isn't bad at all.
You're on your own with the yappy woman.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

It has been a unwritten and written rule on every lease I have been on, "No wives, children or pets allowed on the opening weekend of any hunting season".

Ok for the dog go to the pet store and get a product called Pet Corrector... read the instructions. It only makes a hissing sound so you can use it on the dog when they aren't around. If you kinda like the dog but just want it to stay off your stuff, use it per instructions. If you don't like the dog and don't want it even near the bunk house, torment him with it every chance you get. I guess I'd talk to the guy, tell him you don't want the dog scenting up your gear and that his wife is inconsiderate. If that don't work get an air horn and use it to torment her! As for the unwritten rule thing I guess for wives and kids, that rule went away along time ago...

You wouldn't be out of line by laying down some man laws for opening weekend. Why would he even want to bring them unless he is

Open door when she starts to talk and point out side ! If that dont work then tell her to get up when you all do . That way she'll want that nap later on . And if that dont work kick her out . One of these will get through to her well maybe ?

I agree time for some new rules, if you went about it the right way I would think he'll understand.
-- My wife says this forum is "Facebook for hunters", what's up with that? --

Call me an ole timer, but my idea of deer camp is a place where a man can fart without any fear or consideration of who might hear it. Nothing like a little "buck snort" while peeing off the porch.
Come on guys, it's supposed to be a deer camp, not a country club tea party.

No doubt about the AR crap, just damn shame hunters don't have self control and knowledge

You're on your own with the yappy woman. Or, take the doggy "hunting"! "Really, I thought it was a baby chupa'!
I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.

I'd rather have the dog in camp than the woman. At least you can pet the dog and nobody will care. Try that with the woman and watch the sparks fly.

Paying members only! Opening weekend....I thought this man law...u sir are in danger of losing the man card for ever allowing this to happen! I propose the following punishment : 1 POT OF beans to be eaten every day three days prior to going to camp. No shaving deodorant or toothbrush at camp. Lots of cheap beer and a fifth of cheap whiskey. I tube Bengay, one tube hemroid cream which shall be squeezed to appear used and placed on dinner table.
the man at the top of the mountain didn't fall up it

Either get some rules in place, in writing if necessary. Or figure you out some way to get your own lodging. The latter has way more benefits than just correcting your present issues.
Another way: If your wife is friends with this woman, buy them both tickets to the ballet, opera, play, or whatever they're into. Give her a reason not to want to keep her old man on a leash.
Tolerance is the virtue of a man without conviction.
