The Disutility of Hunting Game

Hunting game was and is, for many people, regular disutility, creating labor. But there are people for whom it is pure pleasure. In europe, amateur hunters buy from the owner of the hunting ground the right to shoot a definite number of game of a definite type. If the two purchases are linked together, the price by far exceeds the prices that can be obtained on the market for the bag. A shammy buck, still roaming on the precipitous rocks, has therefore a higher cash value than later. For the pioneering genius, to create is the essence of life. To live means for him to create.
