Even Hunters Have Big Hearts

[Nervous Wreck]

This one was worth sending...brings tears to hunters eyes.

A hunter and his friend were sitting in a tall tower stand
near Highway 7 early one cold December morning. Suddenly, a huge
buck walked out over the corn they had spread in the low shrubs. The
buck
was magnificent, a once in a lifetime animal. His rack was huge. The
hunter's hand shook as his mind was already counting the Boone and
Crockett
points. Moving quickly, the hunter carefully aimed the Leopold scope on
his
.300 Win Mag at the unsuspecting buck. As he was about to squeeze the
trigger on this deer of a lifetime, his friend
alerted him to a funeral procession passing slowly down Highway
7.
The hunter pulled away from the gunstock, set the rifle down, took off
his
hat, bowed his head and then closed his eyes in prayer. His friend was
stunned, "Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have
ever
seen you do. You actually let that trophy deer go to pay respects to a
passing funeral procession. You are indeed the kindest man I have ever
known, and I feel lucky to call you a friend."
The hunter shrugged. "Yeah, well, we were married for 37
years."
