A hunter and his friend were sitting in a tall tower stand near highway

109 in Sumner Co., TN, early one cold December morning.

 

Suddenly, a huge buck walked out over the corn they had spread in the

shrub with a tailgate feeder. 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

109.

 

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.
