I think its a good thing. Im not a huge hunter yet but with the thousands of fish that ive dealt with the older and more experienced i get the more i am super diligent to not waste a life that ive taken. Makes me feel ashamed if something youve chosen to kill then goes bad in a freezer or wasnt cleaned nicely by someone who doesnt give a ****. When i was younger i didnt have the same view necassarily and looking back i do feel a bit bad about certain things i had done to the fish regarding not having the proper respect for it( and i rate other mammal type animals a bit higher on the totem pole for some unknown reason too).
Its a good battle to have i think because i can relate alot more and i think you would be less likely to do something to that animal that is a waste - such as clean it poorly etc. its kinda a strange double edged sword - but a good one i believe.
