worst moment in the hunt is when you shoot the animal.  Now, I shoot to kill,
and if by some chance the first shot doesn't kill it, and it falls, or

it is, you shoot it in the head at point blank range, then slit it's throat to
bleed it out so the meat doesn't get tainted by what's called "dead blood."  I
don't take pleasure in the actual kill as much as I do the hunt.

OK, I think I'll step in now and rant a bit. This has nothing to do with nutritional value, or anything like that, just my overall view. This'll be a long one... I hunt. Deer, rabbit, squirrel, and pheasant. Deer for the most part. Now, I've been (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
