Answer: The speaker's actions come from their father's teachings, despite their innocent instinct to be scared of the process of hunting.
Explanation: The poem describes how the speaker's father is teaching them to hunt. They go hunting for some pheasants, but despite how cruel and horrible it is for the speaker to see, the father justifies that hunting is not for fun, they're just taking what God provides to them.
As the poem goes, you can see that the speaker is learning from their father's actions, pointing at the mother with a water gun because that's the way you hunt. The speaker's feelings of fear and guilt may dissolve because a kid learns from what surrounds them.
