I wish that every fish that I have ever caught, would have been bigger. I wish that every girl that I have ever woke up with, would have been better looking. ( except my wife) Wishing is one thing, regrets and remorse are another. I wish I could shoot monster bucks and elk, all the time but I can't. I'm just happy that my hunt was successful and I get to eat some deer or elk steaks!!
