Feeding/killing frenzies are rare events in the animal world as opposed to the deliberate actions of humans with the same result.  This tale of the hunt specifically emphasized the stalking and killing of the biggest "bull" with the biggest "rack" as the intent of the hunt.  The meat quality in a herd or species will decline as seen in the modern herds decimated by the human selection of biggest in body and horns.  The gene pool giants of the past are no longer seen or allowed to grow to full maturity as the horn hunters and poachers guaranteed none will survive to maximum growth.  Most of it done for greed.
