I killed my first deer at around 19 or 20 years old and looking at that animal lying there breathing heavy with a hole in its lungs as it sat there and died was a humbling experience. The experience is truly one that I will never forget. I think this is one of the reasons why we get buck fever the way we do. Hunting for me has been an addictive sport (if we can call it that, I didn't hunt as a kid so not sure if I can call it a tradition either). I believe she will feel bad at first but as you all know, that "feeling bad" feeling goes away or gets less intense the more animals you take. I hope she can bring herself to do it but if she doesn't, there is no reason for her to be upset with herself either. Its only natural for her to feel that way as she would have just taken one of God's creatures that He has put here for us to take.
