Default Another hunting show question....

Ok. No debate about "best show", etc. I was watching a show last night (don't remember which one, but on the Outdoor Channel). They were shed hunting and talking about this massive buck they were hoping to take. It turns out they find the carcass of the buck (a really nice B & C bruiser) that apparently died of natural causes. They proceed to lament what a horrible thing this is that the buck died before they got a chance to take it. What a terrible loss it was.

NOW, my take is this....... hunting is a never-ending contest between man and animal. In many, many cases, the man wins (eventually). In this case, I think it is pretty cool that this old cuss was able to outwit them for all these years. They recovered the carcass (and the rack), so it is not like he is lost forever. I think it would bea wonderful thing to mount the rack on the wall and spend many years talking about "this is the one that got the better of us". What is your take on this?
