This question was asked of me a while back. It was asked by a non-hunter, not to be confusedwith an anti-hunter.

He asked in order to be successful we had to take the life of a living creature. If we liked to be successful, we then would have to like killing an animal. If we didn't like the killing part, we wouldtake up another activity.

No one would do something they didn't like to do, so if being successful means killing, then one must like the killing part.

I hope I explained this, I found it tough to explain, even tho I understand the question completely.

Forget about reducing the deer herd, helping control over population, etc....how would you answer this question? If you like to hunt, then you have to like killing? How could anyone like taking the life of one of God's creatures?
