Wisconsin Sportsmanlike Gesture
WISCONSIN SPORTSMANLIKE GESTURE
Two deer hunters were standing on a ridge near a
highway in rural Wisconsin 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 kindness 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 42 years".
