Ralph states quite clearly, on several occasions, that "there is no beast." Jack, while appearing to agree with Ralph, then adds, "but if there were a beast my hunters would hunt it down and kill it." Later Jack leaves offerings from his kill to appease the beast.
Because samneric said they seen it, so Ralph called an assembly. During the assembly, Jack was quick to be the big guy and said he was going to look for it. Ralph protested but Jack teased him into going. It was kind of a thing between them too about who was more man than the other to actually go and not be afraid.
Ralph states quite clearly his belief that "there is no beast" and he even calls a meeting to try and convince doubters that the beast does not exist. Jack, while initially appearing to agree with Ralph then adds "But if there were a beast my hunters would hunt it down and kill it." Later Jack seeks to "appease" the beast by leaving offerings from his kills for it.
Ralph's main reason for trying to hunt the beast is because he sees the presence of the beast as a barrier which may prevent their rescue. While the beast is at large it jeopardises the keeping alight of the signal fire and all hope of possible rescue. This why he reminds the boys, "We've got to re-light that fire." Jack simply wants to hunt something, as he says, "This'll be a real hunt. Who'll come?"
Although they have different personalities and different styles of leadership both Ralph and Jack share a common desire to act on decisions as soon as possible. Both of the boys want to settle once and for all whether there really is a beast on the island or not and if there is one they want to do something about it. Their reasons for doing so differ. Jack simply sees the beast as an interesting challenge, something different and exciting to hunt. Ralph sees the beast as a barrier which prevents the boys from lighting their signal fire on the mountain top, he feels that until the question of the beast is settled their chances of rescue are being significantly reduced.
Jack's answer to questions about the beast is to say that, "if there is a beast we will hunt it and kill it." Ralph keeps insisting, "but there is no beast!"
