It's easy. It's called "appreciating the natural order of things". Humans and their ancestors have hunted animals for millions of years.
Beyond that, which animal do you think has a higher quality of life: an elk, roaming free in the woods, or a cow, living life as a rancher sees fit and then slaughtered when the meat is considered optimum?
You should also reflect that the death of a wild animal is rarely serene or enjoyable. Death from old age is usually death from starvation. Death before old age might either be an agonizing one after an injury, or being eaten alive by predators. You should watch a video of wolves eating an elk sometime...
The death a hunter offers is generally one of the more painless ways an animal can go. Even "trophy hunters", who take a lot of grief, are very often harvesting animals who aren't far from dying of old age as described above.
Personally, though, I prefer hunting animals that provide lots of delicious, healthy meat. :-)
