I'm also thinking of going hunting for the first time this year. I've shot a couple of birds with BB guns as a kid and always felt guilty, but I was doing it for "sport", really pointless killing of an animal, and so the guilt was well-founded.
My wife insists that killing a deer would cause me duress, but I am not so sure. I am sure it would be very memorable, but I eat meat all the time and I am increasingly of the opinion that at least for me if I lack the guts to kill a deer I hardly have the right to eat an animal. This is akin to my thoughts that a person ought not to be for the death penalty unless they are capable of pulling the switch themselves.
