Deer............Double Click to enlarge photos
Two deer hunters were standing on a ridge
near a highway in rural West Texas 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 respect 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 the last 42 years".
