hunting
Hunting is the practice of killing or trapping any animal, or pursuing or tracking it with the intent of doing so. Hunting wildlife or feral animals is most commonly done by humans for food, recreation, to remove predators which are dangerous to humans or domestic animals, or for trade. In the 2010s, lawful hunting is distinguished from poaching, which is the illegal killing, trapping or capture of the hunted species. The species that are hunted are referred to as game or prey and are usually mammals and birds.
Hunting can also be a means of pest control. Hunting advocates state that hunting can be a necessary component of modern wildlife management, for example, to help maintain a population of healthy animals within an environment's ecological carrying capacity when natural checks such as predators are absent or very rare. However, hunting has also heavily contributed to the endangerment, extirpation and extinction of many animals.
The pursuit, capture and release, or capture for food of fish is called fishing, which is not commonly categorised as a form of hunting. It is also not considered hunting to pursue animals without intent to kill them, as in wildlife photography, birdwatching, or scientific research activities which involve tranquilizing and/or tagging of animals or birds. The practice of foraging or gathering materials from plants and mushrooms is also considered separate from hunting.
Skillful tracking and acquisition of an elusive target has caused the word hunt to be used in the vernacular as a metaphor, as in treasure hunting, "bargain hunting", and even "hunting down corruption and waste".

Joining some friends on an eastern Oregon elk hunt and they use Garmin Rino's. I'd like to get my hands on something used so I am not spending my life savings on something I am not positive I will use long term. I'd prefer the 750 (what they mostly use) but I believe a 650 would work just fine...

My neighbor is taking me hunting in a couple weeks. Going to Eastern WA for Mule Deer. Lots of walking he says. The only gun I have to hunt with is a 16" ar10 in 308. It's pretty heavy. Should I roll with that for my first time or buy a designated bolt gun for hunting? What's a good starting...

For sale, one old-ish leather rifle scabbard. My Dad had it many years ago and it's been sitting in a closet for most of those years. I THINK it's meant for use on a horse saddle but I'm not a horseman so I'm not sure. As far as I know he only used it once. 42" long overall, 35" up to where the...
