If necessity can determine somethings moral status (and I'm not sure it can) than hunting is not immoral at all. It may be distasteful, to some, and it certainly -can- be done in an immoral way...but that's about as far is it can go. Highlighting the difference between a subjective moral appraisal and an objective morality appraisal nicely.
We should make it clear, though, that we're talking about actual necessary hunting, not this as an excuse for trophy hunting in general. If some guy wants to bag the last mating pair of Norwegian Purple-plumed rhinos, for example. . . then that's immoral and fuck that guy.
