We do a lot of things we don't have to do today. Many of us go camping, even though we have our own beds and houses. We go hiking, even though there is no business endeavor or friend to visit at the end of the trail. Some of us pickle our own fruits and can our own vegetables, bake our own cakes and pies, knit our own sweaters, et al, even though all these products are readily available for comparatively lower costs at numerous stores (lower costs in money, at least for some, but certainly lower 'cost' considering money, time, and labor).
But doing these things ourselves ties us with the past, when our ancestors had less choice or no choice about doing these things, so we develope our various affinities to develop and maintain the skills we choose and carry them out year after year. Hunting is just another example. With all the money and time spent on guns and ammo, gear, leases, processing, et al, certainly cancels out monetary value of acquiring out own meat in that way (unless we're another Grizzly Adams or Jed Clampett). But it's a skill and hobby for today, based on a necessity of the past.
To answer the question, I have not gone hunting in years now, but hope to this year.
