There are many thing that go through Your mind before you shoot.
Will it survive?
Is it the right shot?
Am I aiming at the vitals zone?
Will it suffer?
Will it charge?
Am I going to miss?

It's looking at me,
do I take the shot...
Yes!

Bang, in that instant, every question is answered.
But most importantly, the blood seeps out,
It died without pain, the bear died without pain.

Now, this piece is about my way of life. I don't hunt for sport, I hunt for some food. Food for my family. I don't agree with sport hunting, it is inhumane.
