I'd definitely say that we are a culture that glorifies the mastadon hunt again. The recent film, The Social Network comes to mind. No doubt some cash in. However, I think an argument can be made that some folk think that they are hunting mastodon when they look the part of a mastodon hunter. Mastadon hunters are a bit crazy. In some sense, they just don't give a damn.
Every capitalist system creates mastodon to kill, and I like the analogy. But IMO, for mastodon hunters, it's not so much about the food, or even the accolades. I think many mastodon hunters just want to see if they can kill one. Maybe that's what the author is saying, anyway.

Actually a pretty good analogy. Who is this guy?
