In "The Most Dangerous Game," do you think Rainsford's attitude towards hunting changes through the story? Explain.

I do not see anything that would indicate that Rainsford's attitude towards hunting has changed over the course of the story.


You would think that being hunted himself might make him feel like hunting is not such a great thing after all, but we see no indication of that.


Instead, Rainsford uses tricks he has learned from hunting to stay alive.  He has no qualms about using those tricks to kill the dogs and the people following him.  And when he gets back to Zaroff's place, he doesn't feel bad about killing him and sleeping in his bed.  That implies that he is okay with the idea of hunting (and some people believe that he intends to take Zaroff's place and continue hunting the most dangerous game...)
