Ethics of hunting for fun

Hi all.

Have recently been wondering about the ethics of hunting for fun.
Now when I was younger I used to love hunting what I'd now call vermin, for fun. I never new about crop damage and the trouble they cause, I used to shoot them because I liked shooting them.

I've been wondering about the ethics of shooting things for then fun of it.
Would I be considered a bad person if I just shot rabbits because I liked doing it? Or is that what anti-hunting/shooting groups want me to think.

What are some other users views on such matters?

(I'm not talking about hunting for food as that is a different matter.
Just the ethics of hunting animals for the fun of the hunt.)
