While a 16pt'er is quite an accomplishment to a hunter, it's not something you can really share with non-hunters.
Shooting a defenseless animal? Now, take on a full grown Grizzly with just a Bowie knife and I'll REALLY be impressed
Leon, best of luck with Trixie. It sucks when our pets are ill because they can't tell us what's wrong
Personally, I just can't like people who don't like animals.
