But you post more than anybody I know, and 8 out of 10 times they are pointless posts!
Amen.

if you dont like it than dont read it...
and if it so pointless, why is there over 5 pages of posts and 74 votes?

Way to go, free country post what you want. I don't think it's pointless. I'm real shocked how many people don't think hunting is a sport. I still say yes. Many have made some great points but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. Amen to everyone who is a sportsman/sportswomen.

They have a young hunter forum for guys your age, maybe you'd get even more pages of responses over there. Do you think that 5 pages is a lot? LOL You get my point. It wouldn't surprise me if your next poll was "Boxers or Briefs"[:-]

Nope. Just because it iscan be challengingdoes not make it a sport. How many people think chess is a sport?

Sometimes requires athletic ability/exertion, but so does chopping firewood, changing tires,or roofing a house. Sports??

Anything can be called 'competitive' if you word it right, but that doesn't make it a sport.

From dictionary.com:

Sports: Noun;Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
I would vote yes.

NO IT DOESN'T! You can hunt and be a total clutz. You can just decide today I'm going hunting. I have a license. I'm not going to kill anyone. I want to take a walk and see if I can "KILL" something. I'm not going out to harvest a management buck or kill a Pope and Young Buck. All I need is the license and to meet the requirements of my state... and then I can go hunting. You don't have to make it your life's work. You want to hunt. Go do it. It's not hard at all. It's just like fishing. Novices do it every day. And guess what, novices have fun EVERYDAY when they're in the woods. That's hunting. Some are more successful than others. Some have better land than others. The guy with the worst piece of ground on earth can still have fun if you let him.
I think the same thing can be said for a lot of things. "You can play football and be a total klutz. You can just decide today im going to play football. I have a football. Im not going to disturb anyone. I'm gonna go outside and see if I can catch a football. I'm not going to be the next hall of famer. All I need is a football and be able to catch it. You dont need to make it your lifes work. etc. etc." I think you get the point. Just because something might be easy to do, doesnt make it a sport.
