RE: You ever regret shooting?
I regret only the bad shots.
I have seen yarded deer starved to death in Michigan and cougar or bear evicerated deer and elk in the Pacific Northwest.
I think hunters are these animals best chance for a merciful end.
As far as antlers . . . of course I'd like to take a rocking chair buck . . . BUT . . . I can't eat horns.
And not wasting a morsel is the best respect we can give to the animals we harvest.
