Which would be harder to do when hunting purely for food?
Pulling the trigger to kill an animal
Or
Butchering the animal
I think I could kill an animal with the intention of harvesting its meat to feed my family and honouring its existence by not letting any of it going to waste, but my only hang-up would be butchering it.

Finding the animal.
I always have a sense of sadness at killing a large game animal but thats out of respect and any hunter thats not a psycho will tell you the same thing.

So any hunter who is not delusional must be a psycho?

Why do people think it's bad to have a sense of satisfaction from a successful hunt?
Pulling the trigger would be harder for me. Butchering doesn't bother me at all, like not even remotely.

Same here. Even after catching a fish, and I have to bleed it to death(some fish need to have all the blood removed before it dies so it's better quality and shit. You have to reach inside it's gills and pop it's capillary, and then watch it suffer) is incredibly heartbreaking. Especially if the fish was huge. After that I don't mind slicing and dicing out it's fillets.
I have been in a starvation based situation before, and when it comes down to it...if you are that hungry - you simply don't give a fuck about either. Your number one goal is to stay alive.

I've never hunted but I've watched a ton of hunting videos lately and it looks like the hardest part is killing them. To be honest, after they're dead it's actually fascinating to watch the skinning/cutting process. Not in the edgelord "I like seeing things get cut" way either. There's just something really satisfying about seeing super fresh meat being prepared and seeing how it starts.
So yeah, easily killing unless you're one of those "hurr aminuls dont pain" tards.
