Economical efficiency:

I pay $300 for an out of state deer license, then $1200 to a rancher to hunt his property and sleep in his old RV.
That is $1500 so I can get maybe 50 pounds of venison. That's $30 per pound of meat! 
I'm not even bringing up the cost of the rifle or gear.
That's great you live near a place where elk is prevalent. Most of us don't.
It’s great and I say that as a hunter myself but it’s only sustainable as a niche activity, imagine if everyone hunted… >

That is absolutely true, but I was talking more about the nature of hunting >

So obviously it isn't true that it is the most sustainable, as it is insufficient to feed a population of any size. It's like pointing out that collecting paper scraps and pulping, forming, drying, and pressing new sheets yourself is more sustainable than buying a box of new paper. Sure, it is, but that isn't really a realistic solution to any problem
