You you could claim so is only evidence of your extreme alienation from the
natural world.  (But, hey! Don't feel bad.  It's an alienation shared by a
good number of your fellow americans)  For some evidence of hunters'
spiritual connection to the natural world, other the work Ray suggested,
you might try (just off the top of my head)

Bloodties:  Nature, Culture and the Hunt by Ted Kerasote
The Tender Carnivore & the Sacred Game by Paul Shepard
The Contract of the Wild:  Why Animals Chose Domestication (forgot the
author and can't find it on my bookshelves)
and of course, the classic:

Meditations on Hunting by Jose Ortega y Gasset

There is a spirituality to hunting.  Veggies simply have an intense
psychological need to deny it.
