    This one was worth sending...brings tears to your eyes.

    A hunter and his friend were sitting in a tall tower stand
    near Highway 7 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 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."
