Growing up I went hunting a few times as a young man
at 15 I went deer hunting and was nervous as hell.
we got into the bush and waitied for hours then along comes these 2 deer. My Brothers friend whispers for me to take my shot.
I aimed ( hands were shaking ) and fired. Hit the deer thru the
side and it fell. My bro and freinds are all happy and rush in to
check the shot etc and I walked up to the animal also.
It was suffering, seems my nervous hands had shot it thru
the lungs and it was having major difficulty .
I felt so bad, ashamed I had done this for reason other than
to feel "Manly" and prove myself.
My brother finished the deer off and I went to
the truck and felt bad. Never have picked up a gun since and
dont ever plan on it .
