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".

Hey Folks,
I'm moving out of Oregon finally and decided to scale down and let a lot of things go. I'll be updating this Ad this week as I rummage through my stuff.
Due to my busy schedule trying to move I won't be able to ship single items. I'd consider shipping multiple purchases.

I have been reloading a 28 Nosler for a friend. He has found the bullet/grain that works best in his rifle. He has asked me to sell his bullets on Northwest Firearms, since he has purchased powder and bullets on this site. I marked total count (ct) in box. Berger bullets one boxes 100ct opened...

Hey Folks,
Yep. It's exactly what it sounds like. I gave a lady friend my hunting shirt to sew on a zipper. She did a great job sewing...and then washed it with what must have been a barrel of perfume. I've tried soaking, washed it with and without detergent. Washed the shirt using vinegar and...
It’s a classic, numbers matching, hunting rifle. This particular one has had a very long life and its exterior shows some history and plenty of cosmetic wear, but it locks up tight and the bore is sparkling!
This model has an internal rotary magazine and loaded charger indicator—ahead of its...

Hey Folks,
I've had my Savage 110 for about 22 years. It was my first hunting rifle and currently has a Simmons 3x9 scope attached. The scope holds a good zero at 100 yrds but my shooting skills have surpassed what the scope can offer. I've purchased a Vortex and look forward to getting it...

Hey Folks,
After spending this deer season mostly dry to move into a soaking wet Elk season I started thinking about how important it is to be and stay dry in the outdoors. Staying dry becomes vital if you plan on being in the wild for more than a day (for hunting, hiking, or SHTF). So I...

Nice ole Remington 700 ADL in 30-06
Gun is in great shape. Date code on barrel (CE) indicates April of 1984 manufacture which jives with the serial number range. Also, very limited number of 700s built in 1984 had a very cool stainless smooth bolt knob. I've only ever seen...
I am selling my Bench Source Annealer that I have only used twice. It is a great machine and will do a lot of brass very quickly, but I ended up getting a different setup that I can automate with the stuff I have already. I am throwing in a nearly full bottle of 650 degree tempilaq and two hoses...
