If it�s not a sport, what is it? It certainly isn�t needed for survival, not if you live in the Unites States. You can go buy meat cheaper than you can �harvest� it to eat when you factor in the cost of the gear and gas to drive to wherever you hunt. In a few, very few limited circumstances, people live where they hunt and butcher and process their own meat. For them, I might call it something other than sport. It�s not survival though if they work and a supermarket is within driving distance. For the vast majority of hunters we fall under the larger umbrella of Shooting Sports.
