I am shocked th see the results so far....70% feel hunting is a sport.
I guess it's all in how you look at it. I can see how some would consider it a sport, I guess because the word "sport" encompasses a whole range of activities. My dictionary defines"sport" with a half page of different definitions and activities. So if you were to look at it that way then yes hunting by definition is a sport.
That being said, it's hard for me to include it in the same category as any of the physically demanding sports ie: football, baseball, basketball, boxing, lifting, tennis, soccer, volleyball,rugby, hockey, wrestling, track & field, etc...
I guess there is room in the term "sport" for all of these activities including hunting, fishing, golf, billiards, curling, bowling, shooting, tiddlywinks............but I still think it's a crock to include them.
