I wouldn't eat it.
I think that if you live somewhere where you can get groceries, hunting for meat is unnecessary.

Hunting?

Hunting for the purpose of food is perhaps morally better than supermarket meat given that the animal has a free life, there is no intense cruelty in captivity, and it is much less environmentally destructive.
However that still leaves the question as to whether it is fair or moral to kill another living, sentient creature for food when we don't need to, and can eat plants. How would you like it if someone killed you for food?
So, I still think it is wrong to eat meat from hunting. This is a radical opinion that not many would expect, but that doesn't make it wrong. Many radical opinions often become accepted wisdom later.
Also, hunted food is not completely free from suffering, you may have killed a parent and left children alone, or it may not be a clean shot.
Also, vegetarians don't eat meat so vegetarians don't eat hunted meat strictly speaking.
