I don't hunt, but I live in the country and understand hunting and hunters. (Plus I would like fewer deer eating my garden!) However, I always wonder, when you kill the deer, and you are happy you got it, is there any moment, however small, when you feel regret that you caused it to die? I never hear hunters talk about this if they do. I figure I might get a better chance at an answer with "lady hunters" than with the hunters I know who are all men.
Please don't get me wrong, I am NOT against hunting, I just feel that if I did it, there would be a moment when I saw the deer as a beautiful, living creature and feel regret that I had to kill it.
