[QUOTE="Scopebite65, post: 3034621, member: 91672"] November of 2018, I had to put down my 13 y/o golden retriever. I had never had to deal with that situation and had no idea how emotional it would be. It was pretty darn devastating to be honest. The following day was a tough one to get through at work. My boss is the biggest dog person I know. We had a few tears that day then decided to head out to hunt the last evening of muzzleloader here in Virginia. It was a pretty cool afternoon and the deer were moving early. I had 25-30 deer in the field for the last hour of daylight. About 15 mintues before last shooting light, I saw this buck come out in the far end of the field chasing does everywhere. He would not stand still. Finally, almost 24 hours to the minute I said goodbye to Gracie, he stopped broadside at 75 yards. I made the shot and he expired in the field. The adrenaline was unbelievable, but when I put my hands on him, the dam broke and the tears flowed. My biggest buck came in that window? I feel the good Lord was putting His hand on my shoulder that day. A year later, I spread her ashes in front of that stand. A lot of emotion & closure revolved around that 24 hours. If I never have a better hunt, I am overpaid! [/QUOTE]
