you always feel bad your first time.
i'll tell you a story:
at our farm, we have thanksgiving there every year since i was one year old. i got a .22 for christmas 3 years ago. 2 years ago all my uncles and their wives came on my dads side (three uncles, two married) so my uncle matt and josh are drunk, and they take my gun to ';kill'; an armadillo, but they miss and badly wound it ,so its now slowly dieing, and my not drunk uncle, andy, takes his gun and kills it.
my uncle hunts regularly, and he felt really bad because of the inhumane kill, so that might be your problemKilled a squirrell and now i feel bad?
NOT EVERYONE FEELS BAD
Report Abuse
It's completely understandable, hell it's even a good thing. One of the things people have noticed about sociopaths and serial killers is that they are often abusive to animals. The fact that you felt bad and even gave the little guy a quicker death shows that you aren't one of them. I'm not going to say you should go out and eat some half rotted meat, but most of the guilt from killing is easy to overcome when the killing serves a purpose (notice all the other posts) so if you want to ';hunt'; again you may want to dress and eat it. After all even if a squirrel's life isn't as important as a person's it is by no means worthless.
don't worry too much about it. it is a little mean to go out to shoot them, but you only thought it would hurt a little bit so your intentions are not too bad, and you probably did the right thing in finishing it off. it was an unhappy accident that it hit its head, and it probably would have met a more painful fate eventually anyway (black squirrels? haha).
if you eat meat then it would be hypocritical of you to have a problem with killing animals for fairly trivial reasons, a squirrel is probably less emotionally aware than a lot of the food you eat so i wouldn't worry too much :).
also the fact that you feel bad about it means you are probably a decent person so just chill out, it was just a squirrel :).
also nice shot ;).
First off, you killed it, now dress it so your mom can cook it for you, better yet you cook it for your mom tonight. Get online and try to find some good recipes. Don't cut your self getting it a part, just peel it, gut it, quarter it, cut off claws, head and tail, then cut down one side of the back bone(or pull the ribs apart like a yard bird, your choice),
You killed it for the chits and giggle of it, now man up and do what you need to do. If you can't then just go call the city's humane society and see if they will bring some one out to bury it for your little candy a**.
Next time you want to be a big man, go hide under your bed and rub one off.
Good day.
You shouldn't kill anything you aren't planning on eating- you killed it, now skin it, gut it, cook it and eat it. Squirrel taste pretty good and if you eat it you did nothing wrong. On the other hand a squirrel is just a rodent so who really cares, just don't do it again and take it as a lesson learned.
Maybe you learned a lesson. Killing for the H*ll of it is not sport and should make you feel bad. Life is not a video game.
';Hunters'; and sportsman take ethics seriously...
Never point any firearm (even a bb gun) at something you are not willing to destroy.... the first and most important rule of safe gun handling. Learn it and live it.
You should eat it or mount it. This is why I always tell people to take a gun safety course and hunters safety course before getting a gun. I always tell parents they must send their kids to a gun education/safety/hunter course and they must pass a test before getting even a bb gun.
BB guns as we see here can kill.
Grow some gnads there buddy......
Squirrels have no soul -- Remember we eat animals... Consider it part of growing up.... I say live and let live -- But when hungry that deer doesn't bring one bit of guilt to my soul when its on the dinner table.... I lose no sleep over nuisance animals either.... Take my que from me -- Don't sweat the fact you killed an animal... If you feel it may bother you then don't take the shot next time..... But in the future if you want meat on the table then take that deer, duck, turkey and trust me you wont feel any guilt -- That's the cycle of life....
Eat it!
Besides, what you did was probably ILLEGAL. You are NOT supposed to hunt game animals out of season. And squirrels have a season.
That's a good example of how you should not pull the trigger unless you know what your shooting at.
you killed it now eat it, if i dont plan on eating it i don't shoot it, good rule to follow i think. be ethical and responsible, oh by the way squirrel season is closed right now
at least you didn't leave it there to suffer. but now you know, don't shoot at them for nothing!!
maybe it's ';just a squirrel'; but it's still a life.
be careful okay
Eat it. That stops you from feeling so bad.
Google; field dressing a squirell.
Cooks similar to chicken, ie best pan fried.
Never point you rifle, at anything your not willing to destroy.
This is the first time you killed something other than a bug right? I felt that way after my first kill also, but it passed.
skin and eat it, here's how

that is why you are supposed to THINK before you pull the trigger.....shoot at empty cans if you are bored.....you shoot it....you eat it
Skin it and eat it. It's the only ethical thing to do. Don't let it go to waste.
Don't worry, you just got rid of one more tree rat. Squirrels can be pests and have been known to cause damage to homes.
