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".

I barely shoot my 6.5 anymore and never shoot factory ammo after having developing a hand load for it. So might as well make some room for other stuff. Not interested in trades or shipping at the moment. If my prices are way out of line PM me but my understanding is factory 6.5 ammo is still...
I'm selling off my stash of high quality hunting and match ammo.
The goal is to downsize and consolidate a bit, and have some impending purchases and could use the dispensable funds.
I work nights, I may not be active until the afternoon.

A far shot at that, looking for a nice leupold FFP scope for my 1987 Kawasaki JS440 jetski. The ski was just gone through and has a bunch of new parts, runs great.
Looking for a scope in the 16-25power range in the topend, FFP preferably but will consider SFP. Show me what you got!
Hi y'all! I'm looking at getting a Christensen arms MPR in either 6mm or 6.5creedmoor. but I can't decide which would be the best. I've heard 6mm is way smoother out to 1000yds though. But maybe there's a better caliber for it to get out there I was also thinking 338 Lapua but not really sure...
Gamo Swarm 10x multishot break-barrel .177 magnum
Retails for $300+, yours for half that including an upgraded Hammers 3-90x40AO magnum airgun scope and a nice rail.
The new model (gen3) doesn't have open-sights, which I consider a disadvantage.
This one (gen2) does. About 500 round through...

Hello,
I’ve been looking for a decent hunting rifle lately. I was hoping anyone on here has one they would be willing to trade. I’ve been looking for a lighter impact caliber then 30-06 such as maybe 243 or 270. But not opposed to bigger if that’s what someone is willing to trade. I have a few...
There are a variety of lists out there to rank sports by which are most dangerous. For my money the best is published by the Insurance Information Institute because they track every injury from every sport. (Most of their data is derived from the National Safety Council and US Consumer Product...
