Here some areas with the same key/value combinations allow hunting while 
others do not. Without a specific tag hunting cannot be determined here.

Why restrict the answer ..only to have to answer the other case later?

For a already tagged feature or one that fits an existing case then 
hunting=* would be 'good'.

For an area dedicated to the hunting of game then landuse=hunting would 
be better than using amenity.
It is a use of the land. And any use of the land is an amenity to 
someone, so it is more specific than the amenity key.
