Two deer hunters were standing on a
ridge near a highway in rural
Minnesota
on the opening day of
deer season. They both saw a trophy-class
buck meandering towards them. As the one hunter
raised his gun to shoot, a funeral procession came
slowly by. The hunter lowered his gun, took off
his hat, and stood with his head bowed until the
procession was past. Of course by then, the deer
was long gone. The other hunter exclaimed "Wow!
That was the most sportsmanlike act I've ever seen! You allowed
this trophy buck to escape while showing
such compassion and
kindness toward someone's dearly departed. You
are a great humanitarian and a shining
example to sportsmen throughout the
world!"
The
first hunter nodded and said; "Well, we
were married for 42
years".
