Thread: Not again!

In my humble opinion, the first step to prevent this from happening is admitting that it very well could happen to you, we're all human and all make mistakes, but best to learn from other people's.

We are all vulnerable to seeing what we want to see and tunnel vision, also known as the red mist. It's something that we need to identify as it is happening and try and control. I have a few tricks I use in heated situations to control my heart rate and maintain situational awareness, but they don't always work.

Harsh penalties won't do anybody any good

Me too bro, and that's a healthy way to be I think.

The crux is in the decision making process. For me, I am fearful enough of the consequences that I question myself before squeezing the trigger. Almost to the point of being over the top. "Looks like a deer... Why is it looking at me and not moving... It might not be a deer. Body, colour, neck, head... Why isnt it moving...look away, look back. That's its face, eyes are blinking, it's eating... Four legs. It's a deer...

Frankly I'd far rather be shot myself than live with the burden of shooting an innocent man; a fellow hunter.
