That is why I prepare for the hunt even more seriously than a pro athlete prepares for a game. If I am going to take the life of one of those animals, I need to be my best, and I want it to be an ethical kill. Killing an animal is a big deal; it’s not like buying a steak at the grocery store. There is so much reverence in that moment. There’s a life at stake, and if I’m not at my best, I’ll feel like I’m not honoring that life.
