Wow, great story. That was a heck of a thing to do.
A similar story, not nearly as good as yours, but kinda the same thing. A few years ago I was hunting a particular gobbler, hunted him hard all season, saw him several times but he always outsmarted me. Everyday I hunted this bird. Well the final day of the season arrived, and I just barely talked myself out of sleeping in. I got to my spot and there's a truck parked where I usually park. This is private land land I'm hunting and no one else has permission so I decided they must be broke down and not hunters. I walked to my spot and right before getting there I saw two decoys in the field. They were hunting my spot after all! A guy about my age and a little boy about 7-8 years old got up and walked over to me. He asked me if I was the one driving the green truck who has been hunting here all season and I said yes. He said ok then we're leaving, sorry for bothering you. [The gobbler is gobbling his head off as the discussion happened.] I said no, you got that little boy with you, you two stay and kill that bird. He wouldn't stay and said "no this is your spot we'll leave. So I walked a little farther, sat down in the spot I'd been hunting all season, and called the old gobbler in and killed him! A last day gobbler. So I could have raised hell with this guy and his boy, maybe ruined it for both of us, but I tried to be nice and not a jerk in front of this boy and it paid off. They left, I stayed, and the gobbler was mine!
absolutely great story

You made the right choice. I'd like to have a few back through the years. Not so many engaging the mouth before putting the brain in gear episodes since I've gotten older.

Play The Wind Mike that has got to be THE best and most heartfelt story I have read! You are a great man that single handedly put a life long event in 3 people's hearts and minds, complete strangers. You will be rewarded forever by re-living that story!
