It's not a fair game at all anymore. It's also pretty diffult to do it otherwise. No sane person will risk their live everytime they go hunt. Used to be that way, but no more.

It has gone from a necessity to something people do for sport, but there is hardly any sport to it when you can't really lose. Well, I guess you could be a really bad shot and go home with nothing?

But that's exactly it. No sane person would do that. But, to me, no sane person would freeclimb a mountain or jump from a plane either. But yet people do love the thrill and "sport"(?) Of it. I get that. But where is the comparison to seeing a lion in your scope, pull a trigger, lion dead or dead-ish if I'm a bad shooter. Serial-killer (who admittedly love killing) rarely just shoot someone from the distance. Because the thrill of the hunt is gone.
