I've only shot geese and ducks. I also fish. There is exhilaration, especially with a big fish. I don't feel guilty as I know we're going to eat what we kill, or in the case of fishing, catch and release if not eating. I don't see it as any different than buying meat at the store. In fact I believe it to be more responsible. I think, unless you are a vegetarian, it's hypocritical to judge a hunter who is doing it within the rules and for food. I don't generally feel the same way about trophy hunting and don't agree with the spear buffoon in the article above.
