For years commercial meat hunting and culling my attitude was to respect but take the animal, bird or fish as required. But now, I feel somewhat like this chap. I watch the game and actually regret the final act of taking theige of a fellow creature which is just living its life and minding its own business. I only hunt for food now and have come to regard the wild environments as my true spirtual home and it keeps worthwhile values well apart from the madding crowd. I love watching all the different greens yellows browns and hues of the unspoilt places and all the life it supports. Watching a beetle or a kaka or deer, it makes no difference and always a pleasure seeing them go about their business.
