[Effexion]

I will start by saying that I am ex military and back then had no qualms about killing wild animals.

I have had the urge to go out hunting for a while now and really feel I need to get it out of my system. The problem is that I have grown soft over the years and feel I would feel remorseful for killing an animal but on the other hand, the idea of being back out in the field is drawing me in. Any other hunters here overcome the same issues?

It depends on what I'm hunting.  I could kill deer because I would use the meat and I would shoot a bear because fucks bears, they can eat me.

It really just depends on what I'm hunting and why.

I remember when I was young I shot a bird with a BB gun and it fell over dead, I felt so guilty afterward because I had no reason to shoot it.

I feel the same way man. I never had a father figure in my life to kind of push me towards that way. I believe in conservation but i can kill a deer. I don't have a problem with birds tho.
