Ithink it is more of a "pressure thing" these days, pressure to impress our friends, family, and all of you fine folks here.

What I mean by this is that we all want to harvest a animal for different reasons, but there is that "self pride" that EVERYBODY has, EVERYBODY wants to hear the thanks,good job, and pats on the back from friends, family, and strangers. It gives re-assurance that we are good hunters, good sportsman etc. Therefore, I think there is this "pressure" to take an animal or ATTEMPT to take an animal even if the shot is not ideal.

And I am pretty sure that during the moment of the kill, NOBODY is thinking "Man, I hope everybody agrees with my shot placement, my hunting location, hunting set-up etc", the only thing that your thinking is adrinalin, and if your not, then you should pick another hobbey.
