How important is Deer Hunting???

[MorePwr]

Two deer hunters were standing on a ridge near a highway in rural
Wisconsin on the opening day of dear 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".

So true.  Hunting season in Wisconsin is the only time of year where the whole state shuts down for 9 days..
