Well, I'm not part of the traditional animal left - in fact, the local shelter folks think I'm the antichrist because I refuse to keep my pets indoors - but I simply don't get the hunters. What's the point with the ridiculous mismatch in weaponry? Some fat tub of lard in a tree-top recliner and an orange jacket is impressed with himself because he can buy a can of deer-attract, wipe it on a ground below him, and spray the animals with a semi-automatic?
I'll have respect for hunters when they stop pushing for the star-wars weaponry and start pushing to legalize consentual man-against-man hunting. Or at a minimum, hunt animals bare-handed. That is sport, and it's really, really hard, too. If the sterotypical modern hunter had his way he'd show up at the Running of the Bulls in full body armor and an H2 Hummer....
