I don't know really. I don't get all worked up and crazy eyed over the killing part of it. I am very cognizant that I'm killing something but that's really not the part I relish.

I enjoy the overall experience. Simply seeing a deer while bowhunting makes a successful hunt to me.

To me, hunting is not just simply about the killing. It's about the overall experience. Do I enjoy it? I don't know. I guess I do a bit as it's the culmination of the experience but again I say as I've said to myself many times before...I'm not going out there simply to kill an animal.

Killing a deer doesn't bother me; I'm not sad for the deer after I do it because it's all part of the food chain/web and keeping a balance in nature BUT,I amrespectful of the way I do it and am thankful to the Lord for providing that animal for me.

Nice avatar by the way.
