Deer hunting season happens in a lot of states, but nowhere is the deer widow phenomenon as pronounced as in Wisconsin. I’m talking about the fact that women are at home for a week while their boyfriends and husbands are out hunting. So what’s a girl to do? Here are ten things Wisconsin deer widows might do to pass the time.
- Party

- Wine tasting

- Indulge
Wesley Fryer/Flickr Don’t order the salad. It’s time to eat the food you’ve been craving, and what goes better with margaritas than some awesome Mexican?
- Get dolled up
Dan Perry/Flickr If your husband is the type who doesn’t like to get all dressed up to go out to eat, why not go to a fancy restaurant with some of your girlfriends?
- Chick flicks
Marit & Toomas Hinnosaar/Flickr Has it been a while since you’ve watched “The Notebook?” It’s totally time to pop that in, eat some chocolate, and grab the tissues.
- Be bold

- Treat yourself

- Shop till you drop
Roderick Elme/Flickr Why not get a head start on Christmas shopping before things get too crazy? It’s the perfect time to do shopping for your spouse while he’s away.
- Male revues
Martin/Flickr Why settle for watching “Magic Mike” when you can go to a male revue? These are a true favorite among Wisconsin deer widows, and there are (female-only) shows across Wisconsin.
- Tag Along
