But the thing is i really like animals but like i said hunting seems cool. *Sigh* i dont know what im asking here like your fist deer is there a feeling of guilt or regret? does that go away? I think i could go out a hunt and enjoy it, its just this nagging feeling about the animal. I dont want it to suffer but i have my heart set on bow hunting. Any help would be greatly appreciated if you can understand my problem.
Let me help you over the crossroads. First of all welcome to the wonderful world of hunting.
Here is a thread for you. Watch the vid and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. Do you feel guilty when you bite into a Mcdonalds hamburger? Neither should you when you go shopping for deer steak. That's what hunting is shopping for dinner. As far as the animal suffering. Practice, practice, practice did I mention practice! Get proficient with your weapon. Shoot until it hurts. Get so good you can shoot nice tight groups with your eyes closed. Learn all you can about your prey. There is much to learn and asking questions is a very good way to learn. Good luck and happy hunting!
Live it up! Doug
