59. I would say it depends on your motivation
I don't see a problem with someone hunting to feed their family. It's what everyone's ancestors did before you could pick up a couple steaks at Safeway, so unless you're a vegetarian/vegan, you're eating an animal that somebody killed. And plants are living things too, so even the vegans are "killers" in that sense.

But then there's those who consider hunting a sport, and kill simply for the sake of killing. In my humble opinion, those people need a mental health evaluation. I'm sure many will disagree, but that's America.
