Isnt this a description of what hunting entails only written in an emotive way? I may have to give up hunting now

Ill re word it for the OP, Ask yourself this question, If you spend the day crawling around the bush and come across a deer which you shoot. Then get to it as quick as you can so you can cut its throat to ensure there is no unnecessary suffering and after its bleed out you carry out that task of preparing the meat for the walk out. Finally get home a process the meat whilst reliving the hunt over and over in your head with a sense of satisfaction and achievement.Then pass said meat on to family and friends sharing the memories of how you got it. And seeing the appreciation. Ask yourself. do you want to be a hunter? If the answer is hell yeh, then you should take up the sport.
