I thought of this book again and thought I would check again. Anyone have any ideas?

In this variation, the hunters generally had very high tech armaments and did their hunting on a preserve or separated planet and it was planned, not someone being shanghaied. The protagonist had decided he didn't like the use of the high tech tools and decided to go completely low tech.

Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_hunting) and TV Tropes (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.ph...tDangerousGame) don't have the right one.

Does anybody recognize this?
