Lets see now....

- It's sometimes referred to as a blood sport
- Avid hunters are often called sportsmen.
- Hunters buy their equipment in sporting goods stores.
- A popular hunters magazine is called Sports Afield.
- A popular tv show that often features hunting is The American Sportsman.
-What we do iscalledsport hunting to differentiate it from commercial hunting.
It's a sport. There is absolutely no question about it!

By it's definition it's a sport I'll agree to that but please don't anyone try to lump it into the same category asa"sport"that most have come to understandand identify as something TOTALLY different all together. They may share the same word but areway different.
I think hunting it's lumped into the "sports" category (like alot of other activities that don't belong there) becausethere really is no other description for the activity.

RE: is hunting a sport?
While some people may consider it a sport, it is absolutely a way of life for me.
Twelve months out of the year are consumed with either preparing for hunting or actually being in the field hunting. The majority of my extra money goes to the things that support this way of life.
I skipped sports in high school because I enjoyed hunting too much and sports would have interfered with my time in the woods. It was all about priorities and my priority was spending as much time in the woods or on the water as I could.
Can it be considered a sport? Sure.
Do I consider it a sport? No. I consider it my way of life. It consumes me, it sustains me, it is who I am and who I always will be.
