Anybody else ever noticed that?
I helped a coworker butcher some pigs last week. My dispatch method was to shoot them in the head, and then immediately cut their throats. I didn’t notice until the third pig that every time it came time to kill another, he needed to fiddle with the tractor, or coil a water hose, or anything other than be there. I offered him the pistol or the knife for the last pig, and he almost put his hands in his pockets. Same story when it came time to roll the guts out. He hid his gags pretty well, but he durn sure wasn’t offering to try his hand at any of it. This wasn’t a young guy either, late forties, early fifties.
On the other end of the spectrum, we once had our preacher come out to kill a deer, and he center-punched the back of a bucks’ head at 200 yards, and had the biggest laugh ever showing off how the buck’s spread was “adjustable”!
