Hunting "for meat" is the most #1 cited response to this survey of hunters done in 2013.

Regardless of what a survey suggests and recognizing that hunters will often say for meat, it is without a reasonably doubt that many, if not the majority, of hunters would pay considerably less for meat at a grocery store per pound then what the cost of vension per pound costs them from hunting. So, while they may hunt for meat, for a cost perspective that is a luxury and not a necessity for survival.
