Given that we are talking about hunting, I believe there is only one logical answer to your question: Revolver. I say this because of the wide selection of barrel lengths, and ammo available for revolvers that are simply not an option in most semi-autos. There are few hunting loads for the 45 ACP, as an example.
Of course there are exceptions, especially in the smaller calibers. But, in general, I believe the revolver makes more sense if you are starting from scratch or have a choice.
Having said that, the Contender kicks butt over either.
