In the UK it has always been.  Probably one of the first sports.  Same with fishing I suppose.  Your trying to out wit an animal.  Your competing against it.

sitting in a tree for 5 hrs isnt outwitting anything

having a dog force birds out of a bush isnt outwitting anything

yes, there are some forms of hunting that can be considered sport, but most of them arent

Depends on how you're hunting..

If you're sitting in a Tree Stand on a food plot like on those faggot ass hunting channels, then no.

If you're hiking out in the backwoods, low crawling through the brush just to get the perfect shot, then yes.

Depends....

Only rich people typically do hunting as a sport. The chasers make the birds fly up in the air and then lots of drunken rich people try and shoot them. The one who shoots the most wins.

That's a sport, just about.

Going out and shooting an animal on your own isn't. When you add the element of competition then I reckon it is.

but, if you do, you are still competing against someone who knows what is going on.  i.e. competing with you.

you're just trying to beat your old score ..... I've been in several computations with no-one in my weight class but they take what I did from the previous match and I try to beat it


like hunting ... I try to bag a bigger buck then what I did the year before

i know.  if you want to shoot and compete with the dude next to you, what does animals have to do with anything?  they dont shoot animals in the olympics or whatever.  hunting is not a sport.  shooting competitions are a sport.

Proper hunting as a sport is.

If you don't have 50+ acres of land and a team of gamekeepers then your doing it wrong.

If it can be judged objectively I say it's a sport. If it's up to a panel I say it is a just a competition. And yes, that means sports can turn into competition if you choose to view the winner as the one with the most style in performance or something along those lines, but a competition can never be a sport.

Barely, most UK hunting is done with dogs anyway.
Its more an excuse to get drunk and ride a horse really.

All depends on what one uses to qualify what a sport happens to be.  Trophy hunting is stupid imo, but hunting to use the meat and/or the fur seems perfectly valid.
