I have renamed one of my trail cameras, the zoo camera, because it always has pictures of so many different kinds of animals. On that one camera, within the last two months, I have pictures of deer, coyotes, bobcats, turkeys, raccoons, squirrels, and a bear. Not to mention the various birds. And not only do you get to see various creatures, but sometimes it's the oddities that are the most fun. It's when you see a piebald deer or an albino coyote. I look forward to seeing what shows up next, every time I check that camera. But these things are even more fun to see while I'm actually hunting. These are the real memories. The other day I read about a hunter who had one of these experiences. His was very odd. It was once-in-a-lifetime odd. He shot a deer with two heads. Well, not with two attached heads. One had come from another deer. The deer this guy shot had evidently been in a previous fi ght with another deer and had killed the other deer but was unable to untangle his antlers from the other one. So, somehow, as the other deer decomposed, the deer that won the fi ght was able to decapitate its foe. But since that time had to walk around with a dead, smelly, heavy, cumbersome, remembrance of a victorious fi ght, that perhaps was not worth the price paid. The comparison, for me, was too blaring. When I saw the picture of the guy's trophy and the attached carcass, I thought about how so much of the stuff people fi ght for is just not worth the hauls of a victory. While we may carry around the evidence of a win, it may also come with the stench of other spoils that may never go away. I wonder how many of us can remember a victory where the prize was not worth the win? And now the trophy is a burden of a painful memory. My friend, winning a battle, or an argument, over something that doesn't really matter may bring immediate satisfaction, but it could also be the very thing that brings about your own demise. The slow death of personal regret and its burdens is sometimes worse than the immediate pride and prize that comes from destroying another.

The meet took place in Cary, NC and was hosted by NC State University. The meet marked the fi rst time that the Yeti wom- en scored as a team. In another fi rst in program history, the Yeti women fi nished ahead of a four year program. The ladies fi nished more than nine minutes ahead of NCAA Division II Chowan, a 5 point differential in the fi nal standings. "I couldn't be happier with the way our team competed," said Coach Steve McCachren. "To fi nish ahead of a four year school is a tremendous accomplishment for our program." The women's team consists of Lily Clark (North Gaston, 2021), Lindy Jenkins (Pinnacle, 2020), Anastazia Rodriguez (North Gaston, 2021), Rylie Carroll (Kings Mountain, 2021) and Eliana Philbeck (North Gaston, 2021). Top fi nisher for the women's team was Lily Clark. William Fuzie (Kings Mountain 2020) was the top fi nisher for the Yeti men. The team will next compete on October 3 at the Koala Classic, hosted by Colum- bia College in Columbia, SC.
