Used to be a gun nut, but I'll take your word on this now, as it seems as though you care to kill the best way possible.
With bows, it seems as though you must be a very good shot to have a clean kill.

With a bow in if you are a great-fantastic shot they still run. I have never seen or even heard of a deer dropping where it stood with a bow. but with a 243 or 30-06 they never knew what hit them.
Hunting report- first day! Was raining and sleeting with periods of heavy snow. The deer were down for the weather. Winds were at around 20 and temp was in the low 30's to upper 20's. got soaked up to my thighs in the swamp. terrible conditions this year. The kid in our party (16) got a doe.
Weather looks like maybe to rough to go out for the second day. We only get 9 days.
second day called for weather.
Third day was a short one due to the doctors appointment.
fourth day another doe. Only three tags left to fill.

I don't hunt, but do support (strictly monitored/regulated) population control of animals such as deer and feral hogs.
We wiped out their natural predators, causing them to become overpopulated. Deer populations are actually suffering and the herds are less healthy in highly concentrated areas. It's not something I'd have the stomach to do, but hunting definitely has its place.

I personally don't support the idea of sport hunting or a furry being a sport hunter, but I do support the idea of hunting to survive. If your in an area like Alaska or certain parts of maine or other states where you can not get food locally, its miles until you reach any human or anyone! then its okay to hunt because your hunting to stay alive.
I'm completely fine with it. In fact, if your fursona is a carnivorous animal, it seems that hunting would just be doing an honor to that animal's nature, and make you understand them more, not less. I'm against trophy hunting unless there's a surplus of animals in that region, but hunting for meat, clothes, or other tools is perfectly fine with me. As long as you obey commonsense hunting laws which are made to prevent over-hunting, and don't hunt endangered species, it is actually in many ways beneficial to the ecosystem. I personally do not hunt, however.
Unless you are literally living in the wilderness, I'm pretty sure every settlement has access to grocery stores these days. Even in remote Alaska, you could always drive a few hours to at least a grocery store. People in these areas often just buy a lot of supplies advance, then freeze things. Unless you mean they are somehow unable to replenish their supplies, in which case they hunt as an emergency means, then sure, but there's really no places without basic supplies nearby in this modern age, at least not since the invention of the car and plane, which really makes no place that remote anymore.

If you are going to eat what you kill ( or donate the meat to someone who will ) Then I'm ok with it. I'm just against those who hunt just for the sport of it. ( killing for the pleasure of it ).

I live in Texas, feral hogs are very common here and there is next to no regulations when it comes to hunting them.
I usually shoot them with my 1943 Mosin Nagant 91/30
I noticed that a lot of "muh meat/muh animals" people are people who have never stepped outside of a city/the suburbs in their entire life and have no rural experience

Hunting does not bother me when the kill is actually used for something - food, fur, or if it is legitimate population control.
I do not support "canned" hunting, where it's basically set up to where an animal is in an enclosed area or was basically farm-raised and turned loose for someone to "hunt."
Recently, a guy was sentenced to jail time and fined for killing elk in Pennsylvania. I've been to that area - the elk do not fear people, they are practically a tourist attraction, people feed them from their homes. We stayed at a campground/horseman's camp and the bull and cow elk would come right into camp. One evening I went out to find two young bull elk lying down calmly near the truck. They just looked at me, and I was only a few feet away. "Hunting" one of those would be like walking up to a cow in a pasture and shooting it. No "sport" at all.
Many of my friends hunt and fish, all "legally," they stock their freezers with enough meat to feed their family for a year, full of turkey and deer and whatever else they catch in season. Not sure I could ever be one to pull the trigger or release the arrow, but it does not bother me that other people do. The wild animals likely had a better quality of life than most of the factory-farm raised critters that end up in the meat section at your local grocery store.

hey look a train!
mercenary, hunter killer
i am a full out hunter, i see any animal in season, if i have a tag i kill it plain and simple, however i am strongly against animal abuse and i would never harm an animal, unless they are in pain and there is no chance of them getting better... that's how my dog skully went... i did it myself... and im not proud of it... but regardless, i am a hunter and hunting helps keep populations under control and feeds families so i feel that being a furry and being a hunter are not connected, but if you abuse animals, you dont deserve the right to call yourself a fur

My friends and I only hunt for food normally. In the case of brush wolves lately their population is getting out of hand and they are starting to attack farm animals. I take no pride in shooting them ( I to date have only shot to scare them away, but that may change soon as they are getting to bold). Two days ago they had a whole pack within a hundred yards of the house and they are known for attacking humans. The electric fence does not seem to be deterring them. If they harm that Bambi that was born in my woods a week ago, I will no longer shoot to scare.

I've got the appropriate licensing and abide by laws. Rabbiting, small game/foul and what not on private farming land as part of a control programme. Never waste any part of the animal, even the furs go to a taxidermist and bone/waste to the dogs. I'm 100% against blood sports.
