Tears of fawn caused her father to quit hunting 'My dad hunted deer but quit when I was five. He told me the reason why he quit hunting then and even though it was over 50 years ago that he told me his story, I have never forgotten it and still cry when I think of it . . . My dad said the fawn's cries sounded exactly like human babies sound when they cry.' - JEANIE PETRIK By Jeanie Petrik I agree 100% with Peg regarding her views on "hunting" deer. People don't "hunt" anymore. They bait the deer with corn and then shoot them from their cozy deer stand when they come to eat the corn they know is there for them to eat. It truly is Ambush and I for one also don't see how anybody with a heart can do this. Dad quit hunting when writer was five My parents were poor when my sister and I were growing up (but we sure didn't know how my parents struggled just to put food on the table.). My dad hunted deer but quit when I was five. He told me the reason why he quit hunting then and even though it was over 50 years ago that he told me his story, I have never forgotten it and still cry when I think of it. He shot a deer on a hill and found fawn beside it crying He said he shot a deer standing at the top of a hill. When he went to get it, there was a fawn standing beside its mother and crying (my dad had not seen the fawn). My dad said the fawn's cries sounded exactly like a human baby sounds when they cry. He said the tears were pouring out of this fawn's eyes as it was crying. My dad said it absolutely broke his heart that he had shot this mother and left the fawn an orphan. He left the deer there and drove back home. When he got home, he told my mother that he didn't know how he was going to put meat on the table to feed his family, but that he would Never ever hunt again. He sold his gun the next day and never hunted again. Story has stuck with writer all these years This story has stuck with me all these years and I have cried many, many tears over it. I would starve before I would ever kill an innocent animal. I get tired of hearing people tell how many points their buck had. So what? I don't want a deer head hanging on my wall and if they are only "hunting" for the meat, why do they care how many points the buck had? It also disgusts me when I see pictures of very small children supposedly killing their first deer. What a joke! There is no way those kids shot the deer. They are too little to even hold the gun, much less point it and shoot it. They are all grinning while they are holding the deer head up. I guess their parents just want to see their kids' picture in the newspaper. -Jeanie Petrik Comments re article 63365 Happy Tail Happy hunting This story was posted on 2013-11-19 00:39:33
