I find the rote answer (usually from across the pond) that those who know nothing about hunting should keep their opinions to themselves a bit of a problem. Firstly, not everyone from Europe knows nothing about hunting. We have hunters here. (I spent 4 years in the military, some of that time in Beirut, where I/we were involved in 'hunting'. We had excellent equipment and I enjoyed it immensely because I was good at it. Still am. BUT I have never in my life hunted/killed an animal for sport or food.)
Apart from some indigenous folk and possibly people who live in extreme areas such as AK, there are enough Walmarts/Piggly Wigglys/whathaveyou to stock the fridge/freezer. Added to that there is the ethics (ok, an arkane term for many) of hunting as sport. Until the 'prey' is given an AR15 it will never be a fair thing. And I am sure that the idea of hunting the hunters does not appeal to most hunters who prefer to be on the 'victorious' side (I love it, see above). My father in law was an avid hunter who collected 'trophies' from around the globe which now adorn, for want of a better word, the family home. We have about 40 firearms of all sorts including an first series Glock given to him by Gaston himself because my father in law was not only a 1-star and in procurement but also in weapons development. So we know about firearms and hunting, and not one member of this family is pro-hunting. Because we understand the ethical dilemma that poses. But only for those, who have an ethical compass not misaligned by bible study, the NRA, the GOP or other such fundamentalist fringe groups.
YMMV
