I certainly feel remorse after killing something but not as much as with the first couple. The first times I went hunting was as a tag-along and I was already in my 30's; I didn't hunt or even have a firearm, I was just invited by an older co-worker and thought "Hey, why not?". I was not exposed to hunting as a child or anything, so it took a bit to get some of that urban-raised kid squeamishness drilled out of me, but I was determined that I had to do just that. I think its normal to have a bit of remorse and to show respect to the critters you'll soon be digesting.

For me this is way more a thing for mammals than for fish, I can't really feel anything for fish at all.
