Well this was the day I knew I was not meant to kill... I shot the groundhog right between the eyes and he went back in and died,My grandfather said,U Gotema... I froze for a moment and did not want to kill this cute thing,but I was being tested by my grandfather and had to prove to him I was a good shot and kill it...

So,,, No I don't have it in me to kill,,,but if it comes down to survival I will...
i rather kill humans than animals.
