No, I do not. I hunt, not for any delight beyond that which Nature might send my way, but for sustenance. My approach to hunting is not unlike that of the early Native Americans, who begged of the spirit of the slain forgiveness for having forced them to depart their corporeal form.

I was raised amidst the mountains of central Pennsylvania, the descendant of families both of which have deep roots in nature, and the traditions of lumbering, farming, hunting and fishing, the names of which would be easily recognizable to those knowledgeable of early American history. From these I was imbued with a great and abiding respect for Nature and all of her creations, was taught that I was charged to be a good steward of all of such.

Whether hunting, fishing or gathering wild edibles, I take no more than needed, carefully selecting that which I take, giving care so to ensure that my taking does not endanger the survival of that which remains. In return for their giving to me, I give to those from whom I take; I render food to the hungry, medical care to the stricken, shelter to those without.

That premise, though, is not an a priori one, but rather one that is a posteriori, and therefore one that cannot be taken as a given, but must be proven to be true prior to its being used as support for any argued for conclusion.

Sorry, but such does not, by definition, exist; you'll need to either become a scholar of Hebrew Scripture or rely on those who are.
