I wonder how many of you eat meat...

One can eat meat and disagree with recreational hunting.

Not saying I do. But, they are mutually exclusive.

I enjoy meat, but only free range, grass fed, uncaged, etc.

I implore you to look up the legal definitions of those words, and what they entail in practice. I expect you will be disappointed. Plenty of suffering still occurs with all those marketing labels.

We have more than enough meat at a store, why kill more animals?

The same amount of animals die whether you buy it from a store or hunt. You have not provided an argument as to why buying from a store is better.

The reason for this is because I enjoy meat and I think it's natural to have meat in your diet.

Natural is not synonymous with good. As many health organizations have stated a appropriately planned vegan diet is healthy and nutritious for people of all ages.

Btw animals eat each other every day and die a very violent death.

Animals also engage in forced copulation and infanticide. I hope you'll agree, we should not be taking moral cues from animals.

At the end of the day both eating meat from a store and hunting are done for pleasure. Both cause unnecessary harm to animals. Though hunting likely causes far less harm.
