I love it ,I hate it ,I feel bad ,I feel guilty for killing somthing so pretty ,I would rather have them run a little out of my site so I can t see them die,if they are in view when they drop I can t miss a thing,I am happy when there down,sad when i look at them dead,THERE IS NO WAY A REAL HUNNTER CAN EXPLAIN HIS FEELING OF THAT ACTION IN MER WORDS UNLESS HE IS A KILLER IN WITCH THEN HE IS NOT A HUNNTER.THERE IS NO WAY FOR A REAL HUNNTER TO ANSWER THIS IT IS NOT POSSIBLE.

I hunt primarily for the challenge,that is the motivation for me.The thing that requires perhaps the greatest proficiency is our ability to close the deal,to make the kill.From that perspective I really look at it like a discipline,can I do what I need to do to take a particular animal.I don't enjoy the actual act of the animal dying,I do take satisfaction in knowing that I was prepared and disciplined enough to get it done.
Very difficult to put it in to the words that would have it all make sense!

tsoc .... I'll pose this question then ... why not just use a paint ball ...it'll stain the deer for awhile, but wont kill it or even harm it in any way .....


Blackfish ....... I think this question IS answerable ,,,,, it might just show us something about ourselves we never thought of and possibly can't accept .....

I do intend to take possession of what I kill,while the challenge is my primary responsibility,the meat will be eaten and there is a good liklihood the head will go on the wall.
There is a distinction between being successful at hunting and enjoying killing,that was my point.

Have you ever woodchuck, crow, fox, or coyote hunted?? If so, did you eat the meat? Tsoc ... I am really just trying to analyze the kill part of hunting ...... I'm not trying to be arguementative ... I hope you kn ow that ...

I have killed woodchucks and coyotes and I guess I view that differently.I see those animals as being detrimental to either property in the instance of woodchucks or the deer population as it relates to coyotes.
An interesting topic,and I know you are not being argumentative.

tsoc .... I'll pose this question then ... why not just use a paint ball ...it'll stain the deer for awhile, but wont kill it or even harm it in any way ..... Well


Blackfish ....... I think this question IS answerable ,,,,, it might just show us something about ourselves we never thought of and possibly can't accept .....
Well I do like it the kill that is if I miss I can t sleep at night .I love blood trails when I walk over [run] over to the buck to pick up his horns.I am happy ,excited,disapointed the hunts over,..I love bow hunting and the kill maybe it is not answerable in my mind.I just don t think I myself can put it down in words.

I have lost 1 deerso far and I am much better hunter because of it. It sucked, I was only 19 but I have done my best to make nice clean kills ever since. I do have one bellow stuck in my head
from a doe I killed with a rifle 3 years ago and I did not like it but she died quick and thats all I could ask for.
