I guess I've said this before, but again, I've never understood what's the point of chasing and killing a defenseless animal using sophisticated weapons, and then bragging about it. This is like killing a fly with a flyswatter and taking a picture of yourself with the dead fly, and then desiccating and framing it. Except the fly probably had a better chance of surviving.
I'd like to see these people naked outdoors trying to avoid a killer carrying all sorts of modern weaponry, and then hear what they think of hunting.
Cause it's a huge ego inflator and gives the illusion to them of being a big man who is oh so tough...The real way to do it would be to strip the man of his weapons and see how well he does. Your idea is perfect. Even if the playing field was even,well the human would loose big time.
