Absolute best description of the complex emotions involved in killing a wild animal. I've hunted with a few guys who hoot and holler and do high fives, and frankly that type of behaviour kills my buzz to say the least. Its a friggin' funeral for Christ sakes, conduct yourself with dignity.
That said, I have had to put down a couple pets over the years... shooting something that trusts me is something I never really seem to get over completely.
