So hunting doesn't fit your definition of "sport" - so what? I suppose you folks who think that hunting Bambi is so cruel, think that deer dying of starvation and disease, or slow painful deaths via auto collisions, are preferable?
We have impinged on their habitat, and have conveniently done away with most of their natural predators, so the deer population has risen beyond what the habitat that is left can sustain. In addition, hunting is the only way to keep the deer population from exploding.
A humane death via hunter is certainly swifter and more decent than the alternatives (well not so much in this case, I guess). By the way; I don't hunt, but support the rights of others to do so. Wishing injury on the guy is just plain childish...
