I found myself in a similar position this year when I shot my Ten Pointer and stopped to show it to a neighbor. While there his wife's friend showed up with the baby stroller for their daily walk and ended up seeing the "poor deer" I killed. Out of respect I kept quiet since I wasn't on my property but Mike looked at her and advised it was a mature buck and advised her that it was taken in an ethical manner. She continued to stand there and stare until Mike asked if she was going to stand there all day looking at it or go for a walk with his wife. Mike's wife then advised the neighbor as they were leaving that her biggest buck is bigger than any Mike has shot

Mike then asked why I didn't comment, I replied it was out of respect and the fact that I wouldn't have been so nice if I answered.
