a deer or something...I can see culling an over populated herd, but otherwise I don't understand hunting.

YES!
Hunting is a part of what makes us human. It's just in recent history that most people have conditioned themselves to believe that hunting/eating meat is something they "couldn't do" or "will not do".
Hunting is good and I think that everyone who eats meat should have to at least once in their lives hunt and kill what they are eating.
Modern societies take way too much for granted, especially when it comes to what we eat.

I always have. And a lot of has been simply, "I'm alive and he's dead and that's a helluva lot better than the other way 'round."
As far as hunting for food. I gotta agree with the Badger. It doesn't make sense to kill for very many other reasons. (One maybe exception would be a 'rogue' animal that has taken to attacking humans) But just going out to kill something for the hell of it doesn't have any appeal at all to me.

Yes.
I hunt.
I kill.
I eat.
I take the energy of what might have been competition into myself and use it to sustain myself and my own intents.
By the killing of that being and taking it unto myself, I have become a larger proportion of the totality of extant life.
Isn't it obvious?

What they mean is that hunting is a visceral experience.
