Yes, as you suspect, it will be too much for hunting. Way too much, in fact. My personal preference is a 2X-7X kept at its lowest setting unless I really need more magnification (which hasn't happened yet). A 1X-4X is even better.
Anything over 4X, you find yourself looking at a lot of bushes where you thought the critter was.
