I have some videos of Stan Potts bowhunting, almost every deer he kills, he starts getting choked up, it seems, it may be good acting. His famous "give me a second, I get a little emotional" always gets a laugh from someone in the room. My question is, have any of you been brought to tears over a deer that you killed? Not tears of saddnes, but of sheer gladdness. Or just simply feeling that you finally got the ONE. The one you have wanted so much. I never have cried, I have been elated about bucks I have taken,excited, but never shed any tears. I don't know why, maybe im just not that emotional.

I did last Saturday only because one of the big boys showed up and he ducked my arrow. It had me a little upset all that work and prep and its gone out the window!!
The only time I ever cried hunting is when I was 8. I missed my first buck at a hundred or so yards.(it was sleeting, leave me alone[&o])Other than that, I haven't cried when I shot a deer. Just a big smile.
