My go-to quote when I see fallen game I have taken or watch life leave a creature harvested by my hand. I have never glamoured in the killing of an animal. Even the smallest squirrel, dove, quail or any harvested game causes me pause for remorse and thanks.

I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow.
