When I kill an animal I hope I do it in a manner that leaves the animal with its' dignity and treat it with respect after I have killed it.

I get my rush from the whole experience of the hunt than just the Kill itself!!!!
Joe ... I don't want it to sound like that's what I'm saying ..... but the kill is the climax .... the period on the sentence if you will. All the practice pre-season ..... When you put the time in to scout and in the woods ..... waking up in the middle of the night ....keeping your clothes as scent free as possible ....getting to your stand as quietly as you can ... the crackling of leaves as hooves penatrate the forest floor ... the sight of your quarry .... that tense moment when you are able to draw ..... finding your spot ..... the release of the arrow and the subsequent, "WHACK!" sound as you push a razor sharp broadhead thru your trophy's chest cavity ..... watching as the deer slows from his death run ... he starts to stumble, falling over ....dead.
You see, it's the kill that seperates us from camera men or nature watchers ...... it's the kill that causes PETA to even be around ..... it's the kill
