hadith source-identification authenticity sports hunting

                          Wikipedia  references a hadith from page 874 of *Encyclopedia of Religion and Nature* by Bron Taylor (Google Books ) which writes:

> He opposed recreational hunting, saying that "whoever shoots at a living creature for sport is cursed."

However, this book has no reference.  Googling whoever shoots at a living creature for sport is cursed  doesn't help further than this.

**Question**: Is there a hadith "whoever shoots at a living creature for sport is cursed" and is it authentic?
