I believe most hunters will feel some remorse for killing of an animal, no matter the size of the animal. We are of one link in the chain of life. When we kill an animal, it is to insure our survival, and also insures the survival of its kind. We all should gives thanks to above, each time we take an animal, from this earth, as it is life, we shall live because of it.

The thing that is important is that you can still teach your
grandson without sqeezing the trigger on game. There are valuable lessons he can learn from you at the range that will help him in the woods. You can always go into the woods with him and let him make the kill.

Get out there and spend this time with your grandson. As other members have expressed, you don't have to shoot any deer to teach him. Take him target shooting to learn the best shot placements and the importance of a clean kill, so when the moment does present it self your grandson can feel confident in harvesting the deer.
My father loved the outdoors but didn't care much for hunting or taking game. However he did purchase a rifle for him self, a hunting camp, some four wheelers and began introducing me to a sport and passion I truly love to this date. My father never did take any deer, I did.
He afforded me the tools and experience I needed and every thing els fell in place.
You'll be fine!
KEEP HUNTING THE GREAT OUTDOORS & GOD ALIVE, PASS IT ON!

I would have to tell this person that he is not that far from the rest of us. I would be more concerned if he did'nt have any feeling about this at all. I think all hunters have a feeling similar to this after taking an animal. Remember though that Jesus himself ate animals and I'm sure if there was something wrong with it He would not have been involved, just remember to give thanks to God for what you have just taken.

Dropping the hammer is only a very small part of the hunting experience. Take him to the woods, teach what you know and both of you may get to grow a bit.
I didnt start Deer hunting until after I retired. And then, because I dont want to see them starving, nor as hood ornaments.

Just being out doors with your grandson is more of an experience then the kill... AS said before let him do the shooting, but be there and teach and you both with enjoy your time spent together, with your son and your grandson...
