>>1028166Cool story OP, got me super keen for fallow deer hunting next weekend.
>>1029168You're nearly right there mate. I thoroughly enjoy the killing. It's very satisfying pulling the trigger and watching whatever you're shooting drop. The outdoorsy aspect is equally important to me though.
Never understand the remorse some hunters report, and am usually sceptical of it. Like you I just think hunters are trying to hide their motivations because it's socially unacceptable to say you enjoy killing animals these days.
But then again I tend to score quite low on empathy tests, so maybe it's me. Either way I'm honest about what I enjoy about hunting and don't hide it too much. So long as I don't break the law it's all good right?
