You can, for a fact, hunt without a peep and shoot pretty good groups as long as your anchor is consistant.
But I do prefer to hunt with a single pin sight like the Sightmaster and its clones vs a multi-pin sight when not using a peep.
Anyone who thinks they cannot shoot goodhunting groups without a peep, try it and see for yourself.
You may be surprised and pleased with the results.
