RE: The suffering of animals
Part of being a hunter is taking life. Death isn't always an easy thing to see. First you must take good shots and do your best to kill cleanly. If its not a clean kill then do you best to put it down as quickly as you can. If an animal suffering is something you can't stand then it's time to take up a different sport. I still hate to see an animal suffer but I know it happens from time to time and I'm ready to deal with it.
It also shows we are not blood thirsty killers like some non hunters think. We still care alot for the animals we hunt but killing and death is still part of it. You just have to decide if you can do it and still live with yourself.
