Excellent! Now I just need you to agree to the main point: The quality/skill/class level of the hunter is defined by the hunter him/herself, not by the size, speed, or scarcity of their quary. In logic this would be the post hoc fallacy. A before B, therefore A caused B. You may be moving up in game but your improvement as a hunter isn't cause and effect, you're growing in skill becuase you have the capacity to learn and grow from those experiences.
