I feel there are more hunters like this in the trad community than anywhere else. High regards to respect and ethics.    :thumbsup:

An anti-hunter could never grasp the emotions of this topic. They never will. Thankfully, most of us here not only understand but share in these sentiments.

Gratitude and Respect....

Exactly what is missing in most of the modern TV hunting shows.

Exactly why I feel so blessed to be part of the Traditional Archery community.

I've hosted many traditional hog and turkey hunters.

I've only met a few who would not pay Gratitude and Respect for the animal which gave it's life for them, by taking a few private minutes.

Very well said, Thom.

You are a great example for our kind.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice story, thank you for sharing.

Thom joined our group on a hunt at Wild Things last year and instantly became a dear friend. When we returned last month we didn't even have to ask, he made sure he would be there.

He ain't heavy, he's our brother.

Wow, that's quite the reception!

Thanks to everyone who dropped a comment, shared the link, or even just took a few minutes out of their day to read the story!

I am humbled by the response from my home fire!    :campfire:

Thom,
Thanks for sharing your inner thoughts on taking this animal. I asked my wife to read it right after I did. Although she doesn't hunt and won't even try any wild game we procure she supports my reasons for hunting as well as our son's and grandson's and this was the perfect way to further that understanding and reinforce why so many of us do what we do.
