I never have enjoyed the "Killing" part, I tune it out and have become somewhat numb. I have tried to always make good clean shots, however mistakes and bad timing sometime happen. I hate it. I have only lost one deer that I shot with a bow. I Thought it was going to be a good shoot, however it wasent. Dont know what happend but I spent all day literaly searching. She was never found. I could not sleep, i was messed up over it.
There is a moment of solem respect I have for the animal when I recover it. I always thank God for providing, and then thank the animal, because it does provide life and sustenance. My family does rely alot on the game I harvest. We not starving by all means, we just choose to eat wild game rather than processed meat.
Killing is just one small aspect of the hunt
