It's definitely a fair interpretation, though to me, him explaining why, the whole thing about other people and what they get to do, implies that he chose hunting that day, perhaps was enchanted by it in a new way. Had it been about first getting to be recognized as a hunter, perhaps he would have described something that gave him the feeling he'd earned this status, perhaps some form of approval from john, or managing to save someone. But hey, seems like most people agree with you :)
