🔘 How do YOU define what HUNTING is?

[JungleShooter]

It is so in the culture of people that you will not change their minds to do real hunting instead.

Yeah, there it is again, the disqualifying that so often occurs when the topic "Hunting" comes up:

"What I and my kind do is REAL HUNTING.
What others do IS NOT."

Spin off question :

who considers hunting flying in to a camp, getting tracked to a blind/stand with most likely a feeding station of some kind, shoot a critter that has zero chance and then get the camp help to take it out and processed ?

Raise your hand if you deem this hunting.

That’s the best they can do with what they have to work with. That’s hunting to them. They may be level one hunters just like kids too small to even support the weapon their daddy is making them shoot. All propped up and can only shoot if the animal is standing in one specific area, but that’s still hunting. I’m a motocross racer. Even though I would get lapped one minute into a pro race, I would hope Eli Tomac would still consider me a motocrosser.

hunting is tracking /stalking and killing for food on the table . "hunting for a trophy " should also contain the element that the hunter is also a possible trophy kill .

I usually stay away from threads like this one, but...

Have you ever watched a house cat stalk and catch something, only to play with it until it loses interest and the prey eventually escapes?

Is THAT hunting?

All my best!

Sorry but not talking about kids or even physically impaired adults,......talking about fully grown perfectly capable men.

They are doing the best they can with what they have to work with.

From the late 1970's to the early 1990's the army troops in Mozambique would chase animals with vehicles to a predetermined area where others sat and wait with their AK47's. They would shoot on full automating and kill the whole herd, not one stayed alive. The herds got less and less and not long before there was only aa few individuals left that the troops could not find. To them, that was hunting. Where do you draw the line?

I am very, very sorry that such terrible things have happened on your beautiful continent.

Not to get off topic, just worded a bit different, but when i lived across the pond, England that is, it was not called hunting, with the exception of Fox hunting, but it was called shooting, as in pheasant shooting or rabbit shooting

I don't hunt, I basically sit on my butt in a central local, let the rodents, ground squirrels, pop up and I pop them. Pest control.

To me?
Hunting is going to the grocery store after they rearrange the aisles and looking for the Cheese Nips.
