Dedicated KY elk hunters (must read)

Two elk hunters were standing on a ridge near a highway in Knott County, Ky.on the opening day of the Ky.bull elk hunt.

They saw a beautiful trophy class bull elk meandering towards them.
As the hunter raised his rifle to shoot,a funeral procession came slowly up the highway just below them. The hunter lowered his 300 win mag, took off his orange cap , and stood with his head bowed until the procession was past.

Of course by that time the big bull was long gone .
The other hunter exclaimed " Wow ! That was the most sportsmanlike act I have ever witnessed! You allowed that trophy 7x7 to escape while showing such compassion and kindness towards someone's dearly departed. You are a great humanitarian and a shinning example of sportsmen throughout the Country "

The first hunter nodded and said " Well we were married 42 years "
