I believe the difference to most people (and generally what my non-hunting/shooting friends think, in conversation) is "employment" vs "recreation". It could be argued that a person could take a different job, but the recreationalist has a choice to participate or not.

And just how many "trappers" and "miners" actually make their living at these occupations? I know a few trappers that trap as a hobby, and even more that trap just so that they can have a cabin on public land. A lot of miners, are "recreational miners" that do it as a hobby.
