Hunting is a primal joy. No, there's no need to hunt for most of us. It's still pleasurable. Nature is vicious and nasty. I think that if the deer had its say it would prefer to die by a bullet than to be torn apart by wolves. That being said, I feel that if you hunt you owe it to that animal to make its death meaningful. If you just shoot the poor thing for the sake of killing it I think you're a jackass. If, however, you kill only so many animals as you can eat, and you do, in fact, eat them, I have no problem.
