I wouldn't be upset if hunting was only permitted with a compound bow, barefoot and banned in clear cuts all together.

I agree Killing for sport vs. food or pest control makes no difference to the animal. I eat meat and accept that as humans we are douches to the rest of the planet, no matter how light you think your impact is. The question I have is more pointed in the direction of the hunter's behaviour / motivations.
Should we accept sport hunting as normal behaviour human beings? Spending large amounts of money and time to kill an animal for no reason other than fluffing your own ego does not seem like the type of mentality that we should be accepting of as normal or healthy behaviour.
If the kid next door kills the cat down the street for fun we'd all be up in arms and calling them sick and twisted; future murderers and psychopaths. whatever. But grown men (and women) get a free pass?

I think it should be basically catch and release. Works with the fishes.
All "trophy hunting" should be done with a paintball gun and a gopro.
Wrt grizzly bears - it would make it more sporting would it not? Get your shot, get your vid, and see if you get out with your life.
Can't trophy hunters just shoot trophy hunters? Seems like fair sport to me. Leave the animals out of it and have a fair match instead.
