God gave us dominion over all the animals and said that they shall be meat for us. Between farming and conservation efforts, i think we're doing a pretty decent job making sure there's enough meat to go around.
There are limits on each game animal and the game wardens are very active. Processing plants will not process wild game without tags and will turn you in. Rifle is much more humane than trapping.
What would be unfair is a wild west approach to hunting where game was slaughtered for fun and left to die unappreciated. Or, an unsuccessful knife attack that wounded an animal and left if vulnerable to another predator shedding it after a run for its life. A rifle in lawful season is the most clean and painless way to harvest. A bow hunter usually isn't there to miss either and it is a challenging option for those who want that or for those who could use the food beyond what rifle season may afford.
Using a long range rifle is a bit unfair, now hunting with only a pocket knife gives the game a fighting chance.
It's not a fight, it's food. It was never meant to be fair.

Do you hunt?
I sure do. Its deer season right now and just put some fresh meat in the freezer.
