I don't cry but I do say thanks to our maker.

Just give thanks. To me though it is always an emotional experience. Respect for life and death. That is hunting and our heritage. Whether a doe or buck I always give thanks.

I usually pat the deer on the belly and say thank you.

I cried once when I was 16 and my mom died. Can't remember doing it since.


I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

We bought our place after my Grandparents died. First buck I killed on it, I will admit, was very emotional for me. Not because of the deer's death, but because my Grandparents weren't there to experience it with me. I think about them just about every day....Losing family will definitely make a grown man cry.

Bullcrap. Didn't cry when your kids were born or anything?

If a man does not cry at times about his family or a sad story then something is not right. If it is about a child taking their first deer that is all ok too. Only exception is on a hunting show on TV and the same guy does it on a 110 inch deer - really?

I cried a lot when I was 12 and my brother who was 8 died. I didn't cry again until my last homecoming ceremony from Afghanistan. A month or so into the deployment I didn't expect to ever see my son again bc I didn't think I'd make it back. When he hugged me I teared up that was 20 years between crying. Not a hard [censored] just don't get emotional often.

I cried when I was little and shot my first bird.

I cried when I shot my first deer.

I haven't shot many deer at all but have felt sad after every one that I've killed.

Some things are easier to kill to me than others.

Killed a ton of ducks and it doesn't make me feel the way it does when I kill a deer.

Just the way I am I guess.
