Pro sports? Collecting baseball cards? Music? -Wasteful and pointless-
I actually don't know too many hunters that go out in the woods, find suitable game, shoot it, and then walk out without collecting their kill (excepting tree rats, I'm pretty much a squirrel apocalypse anywhere people will let me shoot). Do you? The "point" would be to hone the skill called "keeping your shit together when you pull the trigger", harder than it sounds. I can put a three round burst into a 6 inch circle at 800m on a paper target, but I miss deer at 40 feet pretty reliably. Most of the things we might characterize as straight sport-hunting fall in this category. Staring down an apex predator, for example. Nerves. Hunting a walking breathing tank, nerves again. I wouldn't mind taking one trip to a big game preserve in my lifetime. Can't say that I feel the need to do it on a daily basis.
