The blatant difference between the wolf or bear or other predator is the type of animal it preys upon.  They prey on the sick, injured, or less crafty.  The human hunter desires the biggest male with the biggest set of horns with subsistence meat as just a messy sidelight.  The detailed description in this tale emphasizes those facts dwelling on the "bull", size of the rack, size of the body.  The destruction of the largest and healthiest of the species results in decimation of the health of the entire herd as the lesser genes are passed on.  Let's face it, the thrill of the kill is the same human dominant goal as the sexual conquest with little thought to the consequences.
