I dont know if "fun" goes into the equation of being "great." Ihave lots of fun playing golf but, I am a far cry from being great.
Golf and Bowhunting are two different beast IMO.

Some of my greatest hunts are the ones where I did not take an animal.

Golf has a defined standard rules and goal, bowhunting has standard set of rules, but one's goal will differ from another.
I think the defined goal/obect of hunting would be to kill an animal. Why else would we bring a weapon and buy a permit to kill that animal. We can, as hunters, also set other goals during our hunts; such as seeing more deer, killing a big buck, making a clean kill, etc. These personal goals/objectives would be the intangibles that change from one to another.
