If you seriously want to have any sort of legitimacy as a 'hunter' go out and fashion a spear out of whatever materials you can find out in the wild and take them on like the earlier hominids had to.

It's not really supposed to be that dangerous though is it? It's more about the skill of the shot and the 'thrill' of the chase then putting yourself at risk

Also just because they keep the trophies doesn't mean that's all they've hunted for, most of the time they will put the meat to use as well if they can. I don't hunt, never have and neither have any of my family. Though I know quite a lot of country folk who do, one of my friend's dad is big into his hunting and does have some 'trophies' up but he also has a motto that 'never shoot what you won't eat'
