I think your on the right lines mate,from a personal point of view I could not shoot an animal that I have not got total and utter respect for.
As a boy my father taught me to only shoot to eat, however as the years have gone on an awfull lot of animals need culling due to over population, sickness and a genuine need to keep them away from crops ,farm animals etc.
I`v spent years of my life watching animals,photographing them,saving their lives, looking after sick ones. I cant actually say I have out and out enjoyed killing an animal though,no never.
I have shot clays for over 30 years now to a very high standard and now coach part time, which in my mind helps to make
me an ideal person to do the job of culling as I have a lot of experience and know how to do it properly and accurately.
If a farmer in my view has to trust someone to kill something on his land, he must be confident that he has someone he can trust to do the job right. Dont forget farmers are animal lovers too, they wouldnt do it if they were not.
I do believe you have to respect your quarry but this is a personal view that won`t change for any reason.
