Let's say a flood forced hundreds of deer into an area they couldn't escape, but would eventually drown. DNR calls on hunters to come shoot them so they can be utilized. Would I enjoy walking up to that deer and killing it? Nope, definitely not. For those that say they actually love the kill...I would have to assume you would love that killing scenario also, right? Don't cloud the issue with "fair chase" and such if you answer that though, cause killing is killing...fair chase doesn't affect the act, only the lead in.
I see where you're going with that, and it's a good way to look at it. In this case, I wouldn't enjoy that kill. That's more along the lines of an extermination or an execution. I stand behind what I've said on here. I love the kill... as a part of the hunt. A kill during a hunt and in your scenarioare both ending the lives of something, but in your scenario there's no pursuit,... no chance involved,... no hunt,... no adrenalin rush as the prey moves into view and then into range,... no sense of elation when you see the arrow hit home and see or hear the deer pile up. There would be no enjoyment in the above situation for me at all.
I love the way you put this, LC .... That is exatly how I feel ....
