Hunting IS fun.
I've killed a few coyotes and foxes, with no intent to eat them. I don't any more, but don't care if others do.
I've deer hunted forever. Always use every bit of venison.
When I started bear hunting, I certainly wasn't doing it for meat. HOWEVER, I also love bear meat and utilize every bit of that as well.
I've had people say "I don't mind you hunting as long as you're not doing it for fun." When I was young, I tried to engage those people with rational discussion. I don't anymore. If what I'm doing is legal, ethical and has been an accepted version of "sporting" for hundreds of years? I really don't give a rat's ass if you don't like me enjoying it.

I would shoot animals if I needed it food but as I can go to the shop for food I don't.

Never lose sight of the fact that those little packages of meat (unless you're vegan, then never mind) were once living, breathing animals. Just because the person who killed them was doing a job instead of having fun doesn't make it a morally superior choice.
