Hunting for survival is okay. Better than okay? Better than shopping at the local Wal-Mart. And if you're hunting for survival, chances are that there is no local Wal-Mart. Maybe it burned down! This is best!
Hunting for sport is iffier. I guess it goes to the nature of sport. Urine-soaked dude with high-powered rifle versus deer doesn't really seem like much of a competition to me. But if it were, say, loinclothed dude with a knife versus cougar? Hell yes.
I was just thinking about this yesterday. I am honestly not sure how I feel about some of it. There's a big part of me that yells "murder" every time hunting comes into my brain. But there is also a part that appreciates the artistry of things like archery and marksmanship. So. I am not sure.
