You are right and wrong. Hunting satisfies your inner caveman. There is something very primal about stalking and killing an animal for food and glory. Cavemen glorified their victories over large animals by painting images of them and making jewelry of their bones. When you get right down to it, we haven't changed all that much from those cavemen. Granted, now you have an 11-year old hunting a giant boar with a .50 pistol (talk about a hand cannon), but the instinct is still the same.
