I agree that caged hunting is a disgrace and in no way would I support it.
It's clear that those who think we should hunt "mano a mano" have never tried to get within shooting range of a deer, moose, elk or turkey. It ain't as easy as you think. If they poo poo the use of a rifle, would they rather a bow be used? Sure it takes more of an effort, but the animal dies much more slowly and the chance of wounding it is much greater. Again, it ain't as easy as you think.

I never killed anything just for the sake of killing it, but I did have some friends that did.
Animals that I've dispatched by accident:
two cats
raccoon
opossum
several lizards
two deer
many many thousands of insects (with my windshield)

Animals I've dispatched by design:
lots of pests (mice, flies, wasps, slugs etc)
several species of finfish (and lots of em')
countless oysters, clams, mussels, and crabs (dungeness...yum)
chickens, grouse, ducks, geese, quail
several deer
four moose


As far as I'm concerned industrial farming is cruel. It's too bad most people don't know what happened to the piece of plastic wrapped meat that's in their supermarket.
