If you love to hunt, but don't love the kill, why not just take a picture? You can experience everything about the hunt, and still just take a picture. Everything. You know why? Because that feeling you get just before you fling that arrow, that feeling you're about to take that animals life, that why you hunt.
When we start to impose our thoughts or what we think others "should" feel.....we're heading down a slippery slope of projecting our own, personal beliefs and ideologies into places they're not wanted, understood or accpeted.
Hunting is personal. Very personal.
I won't hesitate to end a deer's life.....but I do so with GREAT respect for that animal....and with a modicum of remorse. Far from 'regret".....but the act of killing has NEVER driven me on a single hunt. It's a necessary "part" of the overall hunting experience. It's not even the crescendo. It's "a" part.
