Good points all around. It definitely falls into the "active passtime/recreation" category to a small degree...there are a clear-cut set of "rules"...I guess the problem I have in categorizing hunting, fishing, rock climbing, etc. as sports is there is no "game". Sure, there's the game of wits between me and my prey, but somehow lowering that "game" to a simple competition when a life is on the line is cheap and under-values the spiritual side.

Gonna have to vote no on this one.
