Everybody has made some great posts! All make great points!

I consider it a sport with the admiration of a hobby or passion!

Hunting takes work....skillful shooting, (in my case) lots of conditioning, strength, smarts (patterning, positioning, etc.).....but at the same time with all that work, sitting in the woods is a place to get away and enjoy the great outdoors passionately!

Oh, and another point, hunting shows are shown on Sportscenter!!!

I have had so many people tell me hunting isn't a sport and they don't even hunt, but those who don't think it's a sport and they do hunt, that's their hobby and something they love to do and that should be realized. So from one hunter to another, I think it is even though it might not be a sport for you, but a passion. Either way hunting is one of the greatest pastimes for all!

Good luck to all! Oh yea....and to me,bassfishing is a sport too!!!You'll see me on Sportscenter in the Classic someday! Remeber C.R. "Fishin'" Chipps!
