You're talking about humans alive today? Or all humans who've ever lived? I'd be extremely surprised if more than 50% of the former had hunted and enjoyed it. (And, considering that approximately half the humans are female, I would be somewhat surprised about the latter as well.)
So, by "enjoy hunting" I mean more "after going hunting, would enjoy it" than "have gone hunting and enjoyed it." In particular, I suspect that a non-hunter's opinion on hunting is probably not as predictive of their post-hunting experience as they would imagine that it would be. It is not clear to me if the percentage of women who would enjoy hunting is smaller than the percentage of men who would not.
Be careful with that kind of arguments, for the same is probably true of heroin. (Yes, there are huge differences between hunting and heroin, but still...)
