To others it is a zero sum balance that comes for being blinded to all but the act of killing.
To which PT will readily admit that he ENJOYS the "killing" aspect of the "hunt". I actually don't. It's an integral part of the hunt, yes. Do I "enjoy" it? Nope.
I think you all need to read this, again.
I would NEVER, EVER be a proponent of someone taking a deer they would , at the time, or subsequnetly "regret" taking. But the deer, as I said, would serve a purpose. It would also be taken legally.
If a man can take a deer....with no regrets.....stack 'em up, brother.
There's no such thing in taking one for the wrong reason.....if the shooter has no regrets when he's finished. He needs to please/appease/answer to NO ONE except himself.
