You're probably right, but we can't make generalizations. In my area of New York I've seen people perform drive-by shootings of deer - it's for fun (I'm not the hunter type, don't ask me how it's fun). We also had the pleasurable experience of a wounded deer struggling onto our property - the hunters had shot it with a bow and arrow. The hunters wanted to take it away, but since it was shot out of season the police were called in to handle it instead.
I wouldn't go so far as to call hunters sadists. Shooting with a bow and arrow is probably just part of the sport. But drive-by shootings on wild animals - that one doesn't make much sense to me.
