Same thing. That only works if the hunter values food. If he has enough (or knows how to get enough), he might not value food.

At the end of the day things have value only because people want them and give them value.

What value do you give air? It's absolutely essential to life after all! But since you have as much as you could use you don't value having more.

I think you're confounding value and marginal value.
