Kill a good buck and someone else was able to get it?

Today my wife showed me a picture of a 92 year old man that killed a nice heavy buck. Probably only 18" but very heavy and nice time length. An old one on the down side. It was shot on the farm the boys were x bow and youth hunting on. I feel bad thinking it but thought man I'm so happy that old fellow was able to get out and get a good buck. I'm glad it didn't walk past my boys during early season. Almost feels like I'm letting my boys down just thinking that. BUT I can't explain how happy it made me seeing that old timer out there getting with it. Guess I'm getting soft in my old age(45) or more aware of physical limitations and such( MS)

I hope I'm still moving unassisted in my 60s at this point( or in the morning depending on the day) let alone killing deer at 92.

Who else gets more satisfaction with other's success. I have always with my kids but they are my kids and I think that's expected. The last year or two its been expanding just about everyone but most with kids, older & disabled individuals.

I guess I am getting soft.

… be happy for the old man … be happy for your kids

…. Hope you get over your ailment

Your kids will have lots of opportunities, that guy most likely won’t have many more. It’s great to let someone else be the hero and be glad for him. Maybe if you know him help him cut it and wrap it, bring the kids and make his day.
