Sorry, to be more specific, this is the part I liked. Yes, making a kill is a complex and bittersweet experience, but its somehow still a very positive one or we wouldn't do it. I think in a large part its the feeling of gratitude that makes it so. No matter how good I get at hunting, and no matter how hard I work for it, every time I kill an animal it always feels like the universe just did me a solid favor.
