Rob, I fear I may indeed be one of those.....Well...not totally. I certainly have respect for the animal I've harvested, and I'm certainly ticked off with a shot that doesn't kill quickly, so ok....I guess I have a certain......soft spot for them... I once shot a deer w/ my bow that I made a horrible shot on. Right in the neck. We tracked that deer for over a mile and never found it. I was so upset it all but made me sick.....ok, maybe I have more respect than I thought I did.

But I gotta honestly tell you that I feel no remorse what so ever when I make a good, clean kill. I've said this before, that deer did not GIVE it's life to me....I took it, plain and simple.The only thing that's ever GIVEN it's life to me is the Lord Jesus.In fact, it did everything it knew to do to avoid my Stinger. I take great satisfaction in that. It's a personal pride, and it does good for my self esteem.

Yes, I replay the shot over and over as well. Only so I can relive the excitement, the moment.... Hopefully no one here thinks less of me for saying so, but that's how it is.
