Some events during hunting make me think and review my doing...
One of these events was with a dove...
I saw it over a building...
The distance was 85 yards...
On this day I was hesitant to shoot it...
I do not know why?
Something like a voice within my soul was saying do not shoot this dove, it should live!
But I had not listen to advice...
I pressed the trigger...
The dove fell over the roof....
When I went to get it....
It was bleeding and standing like a statue....
There was a spot of blood beneath dove....
This means that it has not moved from its place since its fall....
I approached dove....
It did not move...
This is unnatural because doves in Egypt are very afraid of people...
Something made dove overcome its instinctive fear of people. Maybe that was a great pain or unknown thoughts in its mind make it do not care...
When I had touched dove, it suddenly a little flew then stood again...
Dove was looking at me...
I saw incomprehensible look in its eye...
I felt that the dove was weeping without tears...
As if it felt its death approaching...
I felt that the dove was blaming me and saying why did you do that? This is my life; I have nothing but this life. You do not have a right to eat me...
For the first time I felt guilty about hunting.I regretted stealing life of this dove...
I remained depressed to the end of the day....
Time was enough to erase the sense of remorse, but remembrance and lesson remain...

VERY sad video!! I understand how you feel. Sometimes we get these feelings.

What did you do with the dove?
 
Doves crap on everything just like starlings and crows.....only difference a dove is edible.....
If you have sorrow for having killed the bird..better get rid of the air rifle and let all the creatures live.....a doves life worth any more than a crow....

Guess it's because they are "cute" in the same way that rabbits are. I think that it's normal to sometimes feel remorse...especially when it was just standing there looking at him and bleeding.

That said, I just got home from Kansas where I slaughtered a ton of cute little prairie dog pups;)
 
Yep...standing there looking at it...instead of putting out of its misery....did that with many crows and a couple yotes....
Crows weren't so bad....but don't try to comfort a wounded yote....
One day I would like to help eradicate PDs.....
 
Be comforted that you didn't waste it's life and you ate it like any other animal that you kill
I would feel sad too under the same circumstances
I only hunt doves in order to eat them.

The point is not killing this dove. Look of dove and its reaction was unusual. Point is what dove felt at this long time before death.
 
morning, TX. limit 15. average doves per box
of 25 shells. 3. its is against the law to shoot
does out of season and with the approiate sp.
FIREarm. u slaughtered the dove strange,
we pull the breast, wash, add jalpeno sp.
slice of bacon, add beer to mouth and dove.
one large onion sliced, extra jalpeno's fried in
butter. flour tortillas sp. add onion and peppers
with dripping butter to tortillas. more beer. enjoy
we do not slaughter doves, we try to shoot
the sporting birds for sport. justme gbot tum
 
How could you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold? (world so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
