The writing is simply unforgiveable, which probably means he was highly praised as a brilliant writer with a bright future in college. It has the feel of a college kid writing what he thinks is brilliant fiction. Most sound the same.
The problem is not that he hates killing. The problem is that he's human and doesn't want to be. Hunting excites him, and he has the instincts of a predator, but he's been socialized and educated to believe that he doesn't and that anyone who does is baaaaaaaad. So he writes tortured prose about the joy he takes in killing something (because when you're into it mostly to do something dark and secret and bad, the kill is the best part) and the shame that brings him. His education won't let him accept that he is a predator and his hobby isn't evil.
