So, what does this mean? If you would have had more time to decide how big it was, you would have let it walk? The size of your kill decides if you have regrets or remorse? I understand that you want to manage the herd but remorse and regrets are big words. Every deer and every elk, that I have ever killed, I wish they would have been bigger. I wish that every fish that I have ever caught, would have been bigger. I wish that every girl that I have ever woke up with, would have been better looking. ( except my wife) Wishing is one thing, regrets and remorse are another. I wish I could shoot monster bucks and elk, all the time but I can't. I'm just happy that my hunt was successful and I get to eat some deer or elk steaks!!
