What Have I Done

"What Have I Done": A Hunter's Remembrance of Harvesting His First Deer is a raw, unapologetic reflection on a first-time hunter's confrontation with life, death, and primal instincts. Written with visceral honesty, this true story recounts the harrowing moments of taking an innocent young buck's life, from the chaotic mix of adrenaline and guilt to the haunting echoes of survival. This is not a glorification of the hunt, but a deep exploration of humanity's relationship with nature, death, and personal responsibility. Isaac Haines spares no detail, from the icy morning start to the blood-soaked aftermath, forcing readers to confront the harsh realities of what it means to kill when there's no need. Gripping, unsettling, and deeply thought-provoking, this is a tale of instinct, regret, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes, killing isn't about necessity-it's about understanding why we choose to take life at all.
