The Thoughtful Hunter

[Sombeech]

Let's remember, it's not always about the big trophy. Here is a heart warming story I heard recently:


A man and his friend were
enjoying Deer Hunting Season in rural Montana near a blacktop highway. A
huge buck walked by and the hunter carefully drew his bow and took careful
aim.



Before he could release his
arrow, his friend pointed at a funeral procession passing on the road below
their stand.



The hunter slowly let off the
pressure on his bow, took off his hat, bowed his head and closed his eyes in
prayer.



His friend was amazed. "Wow,
that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You are the
kindest man I have ever known."



The hunter shrugged. "Yeah,
well, we were married for 35 years."
