I think that the phrase "sporting proposition" means a game of chance.
It was used in this dialogue:
<span>"Simply this: hunting had ceased to be what you call `a sporting proposition.' It had become too easy. I always got my quarry. Always. There is no greater bore than perfection." (1.96)

In the above lines, hunting has become a sure deal and it does not invigorate nor inspire the hunters to do better.
<span>This quote describes Buck, who is a dog and the main character in Jack London's The Call of the Wild. ... Throughout the story, Jack London puts an emphasis onBuck's retrogression from a sated and aristocratic dog, into a wild and vicious creature of the primitive world.</span>
