Default Have you ever cried?

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 got choked up when my son got his first one.

Icried once when I was very young but I think it had more to do with what I had caught in my zipper than any think else. []

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.

Nope, never cried, but I do start to shake so bad I just about fall out of my tree.

Had a deer bring a tear to my eye once. Caught me off guard. Then I realized I had stepped on my broadhead. No, just kidding. Can't say I have.

If I get the one buck I'm after.....there's no telling what I may do. Germ's spooning and Stan's crying may seem mild.
