For something I have been trying to find: I remember reading a short story while in school (late 80's) that was similar to "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell - humans hunting humans. It was part of an illustrated anthology - I remember lots of pictures of conceptual space ships - and the version I remember was an oversized book, not a mass market paperback size. In this variation , the hunters generally had very high tech armaments and did their hunting on a preserve or separated planet. The protagonist had decided he didn't like the use of the high tech tools and decided to go completely low tech - only to find himself dead in the end by a laser.
Wikipedia (

Does anybody recognize this?
