Please take this as a real question not meaning to be condescending but what does it feel like to murder something so big? I’ve killed a squirrel and it felt pretty bad. I also killed a bird with a slingshot it was a rush of adrenaline as I let the rock fly then a joy explosion when it hit the bird then gut wrenching regret and a feeling of overwhelming guilt. I stopped eating meat about six months ago and will start up again as soon as I kill the cow and chop it up myself. Thanks for the thought provoking post! Have a rad day

Well, there is a bit of a feeling of sadness for taking the life of a beautiful animal. But it is outweighed by a feeling of pride and gratitude.
Pride in my prowess and skill in moving quietly and shooting accurately, in testing myself against a creature that has senses much keener than my own. Pride that I can secure meat for myself and my family. Gratitude that I have the ability and means to hunt, and land on which to do so. And gratitude that the deer was created for the purpose of providing sustenance for man.
