i think the respect or remorse is what makes us hunters not killers

Now don't get me wrong; what I feel is a sadness for taking a life. I don't regret the decision. I don't feel guilty for doing so, I know what my purpose is every time I step foot in the woods; I'm there to kill, to take a life, to feed my family.

I guess I just can't help feeling a bit of sadness. Its difficult to explain, really.

I don't think that 'remorse' is the correct term to describe this situation, becuase remorse connotates somewhat of a regret for the action taken place.

I think that the fact we've taken the life of an animal that we have incredible respect brings an undescribable feeling of emotion... :D:D:D

Yeah, I can't really explain it either.

The only "remorse" I have while hunting is if I made a poor shot,couldn't retrieve a wounded deer, or it suffered unnecessarily from my actions. But I do feel a little bit of "sympathy" for the deer. However, as previously stated, we are predators by design and this is how we are to survive. You push those feelings aside and honor your kill by knowing you did your part to provide for your family and control herd populations.

After I kill a deer I usually kneel next to it, look at the camera and say "just give me a minute".;):D

That moment is a very personal event. The one thing I do know, when I walk up to an animal and I kneel down and place my hand on said animal, I thank my creator knowing I'm the very first human to lay hands on this animal. A small twinge of remorse does come but there is more thankfulness and admiration than remorse.
That is exactly how I feel as well ..........

Put a sock in it virginiashadow. Trying to continue an argument from one thread into another one is a really low class move.
