Words can never describe this true-hearted deer hunter!
A hunter and his friend were sitting in a tall tower
stand along Highway 101 near Mount Uniacke, NS 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 pro cession. 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."
