As the phrase suggests, the pleasures of the hunt are the thrill of the chase: excitement, desire, stimulation, intent, a sense of power and confidence in being able to seek and get what you want. In contrast, the pleasures of the feast are those of satisfaction, comfort, relaxation, attainment, and sedation. Put another way: the pleasures of the hunt are those of lust and sexual longing and the pleasures of the feast are orgasm and afterglow.
