Possible Nebraska State record
The game warden was there and guessed the age to be 7-8 years? He said it should be a 38 point rack? I did not count.
This will probably be the new state record according to the warden. It will be pictured in Nebraska Land Magazine n December. The guy that
shot it was in his mid 20s. A guy around 60 congratulated him and told him to cherish this because he has never seen anything like it in his years of hunting.
A touching hunting story
A hunter and his friend were sitting in a tall tower stand along Highway 64 near Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, 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 64.
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."
