I did something bad two years ago in mid-October and sure enough,

Why is the car exhaust vomiting?

Bad choice led to a feral animal dying a bad death.

Last year one of my dogs presented symptoms/died of cancer in the span of a week, and there was a very large wild animal dead in my yard on the 28th that year as well. This year several small animals I've taken care of died in the 2nd and 3rd weeks of the month, and my youngest dog is at the vet overnight for who knows what. Went for a nightwalk and got hissed at by normally chill (and normally asleep, wtf) neighborhood beaver.

I want to make this right, not only because I want animals in my life to be as safe as possible but I've become increasingly reliant on subsistence hunting/fishing/gathering and I want things to be right with me and...whatever/whomever might be involved.

If the choice you made had malicious intent behind it and wasn't just a choice that lead to unfortunate circumstance you're in a bit of a tricky spot.

When it comes to matters of conscience at best you can make a truce, but it's unlikely you'll ever make peace. Some lines once crossed cannot be retread. That is after all why they're drawn for all to see so plainly to begin with. They serve as a warning, and those who do not heed it serve as an example.

I'm not sure what the situation is where you are but to throw out the obvious advice I'd suggest you take time during your hunting and treks through the wood to make the environment better or at least less harmed as a gesture. Nothing like a blood sacrifice or anything, just "give back to the environment" as they say.
Bring a trash bag and gloves with you to remove trash.
Offer to volunteer at that veterinarian place if they need help, or see if you can at least do something like contact someone if you find any strays or injured animals they can care for.

I'd also say any guts or anything you're not going to eat or use the guts from a kill should go to stray, but like with removing traps sometimes that might encourage more self-destructive tendencies in animal interaction with humans if the animal does not know better, and that'll just be more tragedy on your plate. Still, there are some animals that are clever but slightly disadvantaged so you can befriend them without too severe repercussions if you know how.
