Holy shit... that wasn't a wolf, it was a frickin' dire wolf.
While this might sound funny coming from a hunter, I have to agree with the sentiment that there's very little good reason to hunt some animals, particularly predatory species.
Defending livestock, sure.
Self defense if you're in the woods and one makes hostile moves toward you, sure.
But there are plenty of animals in this world that are currently overpopulated and need a little hunting pressure to keep them in balance. (primarily because we already killed off their natural predators)
We should stick to those and curtail the thrill-hunting.
Hunting humans, a la 'Most Dangerous Game'... hrm... interesting.
Hemingway wrote: "Certainly there is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and like it, never really care for anything else thereafter."
The problem is, they're so tricky to prepare.
