It is an activity. But, people with superior hand eye coordination are better at it than average people. Whether shooting a gun or a bow.

what the frick? c'mon man... it may not be a "sport", but it does take a degree of skill to accurately put a bullet/arrow in a target from a distance...

Did the competition put up a fight that matched your match to the death hard work?

Is hunting a "sport"

I lack that skill as far as I know. Would you let me hunt you armed? Of course not

If you do in fact go to Tulane, I'll go ahead and extend an invite to take you duck hunting with me during the month of January. Our actions speak louder than words and you will only then find the answer to your question.. "Is hunting a sport?"

Same question to you tough guy.

you are limiting your scope of what hunting is to the people that hunt on high fenced ranches. While i don't care what people do with their money, that kind of hunting is not for me.
If you think there is no physical activity or skill involved in hunting, you need to go on a real upland bird hunt of wild birds, not pen raised.

Those who sit in the stand and hunt white tails maybe not.
But YouTube ibex hunting and check out how grueling and intense that shite is. You stalk those animals

so, your argument, if i am reading this correctly, is that it's not skill that allows a hunter to be successful during a hunt... correct?
if not, what is it? luck? they just get "lucky" every time?
it's one or the other... there's really no other possibility...

No, not at all. Doesn't take much of a "man" to shoot a defenseless animal with a high powered rifle while dressed in camo sitting in a stand.
Antlers up...Don't shoot!
What about climbing 30 feet up a tree in 15 degree weather to sit for 8-10 hrs on a 1 ft X 1 1/2 ft piece of metal after carefully and quietly making the mile and a half walk in the dark through a swamp to get to the prime location.
The hours and hours of practicing with a bow all year to prepare for a shot where one might have to put an arrow through a 6" hole in the vegetation to the target animal standing 45 yards away at a quartering away angle.
Then using years of experience to trail the mortally wounded animal, sometimes 50 yards, other times 300 yards, in order to drag the 200 lb animal the mile and a half back to your vehicle where it is loaded and taken home to begin the REAL work; quartering and butchering the animal to prepare it for later meals to feed ones family.
Does that sound more like a sport to you?

It can be an athletic endeavor, it can take talent. It's not a sport. It's a harvest of wild, organic game.

Traditional foxhunting is a sport. You ride (often at high speeds) and jump as the hounds chase the quarry. Hunts usually last 2-3 hours, but sometimes go much longer. A lot of people get hurt, especially when jumping horses in bad climactic conditions (hunt season runs most of the fall and winter).
Kinda like riding in the back of a pick up, hauling arse down curvy gravel roads at high speeds, at night, trying to shoot rabbits ??? Or so I'm told...

Missing the point there. What would your answer be to a question like that? Y/N
Sounds like the latter but I could missing something.
